About this map

Table Mtn and the Haystack Mountains define the high-elevation terrain of this Carbon County landscape as it appeared in 2021. The map traces a network of drainages including Coal Cr and Corral Cr, which carve through deep formations like Coal Creek Canyon and Corral Canyon. This high-desert environment is sparsely developed, with the primary artery being Stone Ranch Rd, which winds through the central and northern sections of the quadrangle.

Evidence of historical water sources is found at Riddle Spring, located near the distinctive Riddle Cut in the northeastern corner. The area is divided by numerous township and range boundaries, illustrating the enduring Public Land Survey System framework. The lack of modern settlements emphasizes the cattle-ranching and natural resource character of this part of Wyoming, where geography is marked by isolated peaks and seasonal creek beds like Stone Cr.
