2012 Map of Pine Hill

About this map

Potter Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the drainage network of the Shirley Basin defines the movement of water and livestock. The area is characterized by an intricate web of intermittent streams, including Muddy Cr and Difficulty Cr, which converge as they carve through the arid terrain of northern Carbon County. Prominent landmarks such as Point of Rocks and Pine Hill serve as navigational anchors in a region largely defined by ranching operations and remote access roads. Named locations like The Chimneys and vital water sources like Difficulty Spring and Little Rock Spring highlight the essential infrastructure required for survival and industry in this part of Wyoming. The connectivity provided by routes such as the Leo Shirley Basin Rd and Difficulty Rd underscores the isolation and the specialized land use of the Shirley Basin during the early 21st century.
