About this map

Separation Peak dominates the southeastern horizon of this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, which is defined by a series of dramatic geological formations and intermittent water sources. The terrain is marked by sharp features like the Red Rim and Hogback Ridge, while water management is evident at Sixteenmile Reservoir and the nearby Garza Spring. These landmarks provided essential reference points for early travelers and ranching operations in a region where reliable water was scarce.

Transportation through this high desert relies on established corridors like Twenty Mile Rd, which navigates the complex drainages of Sixteenmile Draw and Ram Canyon. Seasonal waterways including Separation Cr and Sugar Cr underscore the cyclical nature of life in the Wyoming basin. This document provides a record of the survey boundaries for townships such as t20n r89w and t19n r89w, essential for tracing land use and property history in the western interior.
