2018 Map of Muddy Gap

About this map

Muddy Gap serves as a critical geographic bottleneck in the Wyoming landscape, where high-desert plains meet the rising slopes of the Ferris Mountains. This 2018 survey illustrates the persistent importance of this natural passage for modern infrastructure and water management. To the south, the Hanna Mahoney Reservoir Number Two and Indian Creek Meadow highlight how water is collected and utilized in this arid environment, fed by drainages such as Muddy Cr and Whiskey Cr. The map details the complex topography of the Red Hills and Black Canyon, areas defined by sharp elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. The inclusion of Ferris Mtn Ranch Rd and local landmarks like Bunker Hill provide essential reference points for researchers interested in the rural land use and ranching history of Carbon County.
