About this map

The Shirley Mountains dominate the southwestern corner of this Carbon County landscape, where the terrain descends into the expansive drainage of the Shirley Basin. This modern survey reveals a network of remote ranching and Bureau of Land Management routes, including the Difficulty Rd and BLM-3115, which navigate the high-elevation basins and ridges. Water sources are critical features in this arid environment, marked by sites like Difficulty Spring and Little Rock Spring.

A complex hydrological system of seasonal creeks, such as First Ranch Cr and Muddy Cr, carves through the geography, leading toward distinctive landmarks like Point of Rocks and Pine Hill. The map provides a clear picture of how modern infrastructure and legacy ranching tracks overlay the township and range divisions of t26n r80w and t25n r81w, tracing the lines of human activity across the Little Basin.
