2021 Map of Shamrock Hills

About this map

Continental Divide National Scenic Trl traverses the high desert terrain of Carbon County in this 2021 study. The landscape is defined by the broad, low-lying Separation Flats, where the intermittent drainage of Separation Cr winds through the sagebrush-dominated basins typical of the Wyoming interior. This area is a critical corridor for long-distance hikers and local ranching operations, marked by the presence of Co Rd 63 and the seasonal catchment of Mahoney Lakes. To the southeast, the terrain shifts toward Willow Draw, illustrating the subtle yet significant hydrological patterns of the Red Desert region. The map provides a contemporary record of public lands and topographical features essential for navigating this expansive part of the state.
