About this map

Separation Rim and Separation Point dominate the high desert geography of this Carbon County landscape, where elevation changes are defined by prominent rimrocks and seasonal drainages. The area is marked by a network of intermittent water features including Mahoney Lake, Soda Lake, and Separation Point Lake, which punctuate the arid terrain between Coyote Springs Rim and Cold Spring Draw.

Evidence of industrial infrastructure is centered on the southern portion of the sheet, where the Oil Road to Mines Rd provides access through the sagebrush flats. This corridor suggests the region's connection to the Wyoming energy economy, linking natural resource extraction sites to the broader transport network. Waterways like Bulls Cr and Separation Cr underscore the complex hydrology of these high plains basins, where water is often a seasonal or ephemeral presence.
