About this map

The N Platte River winds through this Carbon County landscape, defining a region where water management and ranching are central to the terrain. Historic ranching operations like the A Bar A Ranch and French Creek Ranch mark the valley floors, while the presence of the Hubbell Ditch and Anderson Ditch reveals the engineering required to support agriculture in this high-elevation environment. The map details a network of named drainages, including Savage Run Cr, Mullen Cr, and Sourdough Cr, which flow toward the primary river channel.

Local landmarks such as Dirty Petes Cabin and topographic features like Overlook Hill and Stovepipe Hill provide specific points of reference for those tracing historical land use or backcountry movement. Recreational infrastructure is also noted, with the French Creek Picnic Ground and Douglas Creek Picnic Ground situated near the water's edge, highlighting the dual use of the land for both industry and leisure in the early 21st century.
