About this map

The North Platte River winds through this Carbon County landscape, defining a complex system of riparian wetlands and irrigation infrastructure. The Saratoga Fish Hatchery sits near the southern bank, while the Pick Ditch indicates the historical importance of water management in this arid region. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks such as Sheep Rock and Sixmile Hill, providing significant topographical relief against the broad expanses of Overland Flats and Lake Creek Flats.

Transport and access are dictated by a network of rural routes including Pass Creek Rd and Pick Bridge Rd, which connect the river bottomlands to the interior basins. Local family-named features like McPhail Draw and specialized agricultural areas such as Hay Meadows offer genealogical clues to the ranching families who managed this territory. This survey reflects a modern view of a region where high-desert terrain like Sand Basin meets the vital corridor of the river valley.
