About this map

Myers Reservoir and the meandering Bear River dominate this high-desert landscape in southwestern Wyoming. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and named depressions, including Harding Hollow, Clifton Hollow, and the broad Bessie Bottom. These landforms illustrate the complex hydrology required to sustain ranching in the region, further evidenced by the Crown Ditch irrigation system and numerous draws like Sage Creek Draw and Cove Draw.

Large-scale landholdings are marked by names such as Meyers Private Ranch Rd and Kingfisher Bend Ranch Rd, indicating the modern pastoral character of Uinta County. The intersection of natural watercourses like Cottonwood Cr and man-made features highlights the long-standing reliance on the river valley for transit and agriculture, with routes like Chalk Creek Rd following the natural contours of the basin.
