About this map

The Haystack Mountains define the eastern edge of this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where elevation changes are sharp and the terrain is carved by seasonal drainage patterns. The presence of Dry Lake in the western reaches suggests a landscape that fluctuates significantly with the seasons, characteristic of the arid high plains of Wyoming. This 2021 update by the U.S. Geological Survey tracks the remote terrain between t23n r87w and t23n r86w, an area primarily defined by natural landforms rather than human settlement.

Watercourses like Little Shoe Cr and the deeply etched Lost Springs Draw indicate the primary routes of runoff through the hills. To the north, Blind Canyon provides a notable landmark for those navigating the transition between the valley floor and the higher ridges of the Haystack Mountains. For researchers of the Wyoming interior, this map documents the current state of public and private land divisions across these townships.
