2015 Map of Mulkay Spring

About this map

Mulkay Spring emerges in the southwestern corner of this high-country landscape, serving as a vital water source in an arid stretch of the Wyoming basin. This 2015 survey details the sparse and remote terrain where the Little Muddy Cr meanders across township lines in the northern reaches of Uinta County. The geography is defined by a series of draws and ridges, most notably at Desertion Point, where the land drops away towards the drainage systems of the interior. Spanning the border of Lincoln and Uinta Counties, the map documents the Lincoln Co / Uinta Co line as it cuts through a region dominated by public land surveys and sectioned grazing tracts. The absence of modern development highlights the preserved state of this high-desert environment, where the historical pattern of water-dependent land use remains the primary feature of the human imprint on the land.
