About this map

Smiley Draw and its surrounding drainage systems define this high-elevation landscape in Carbon County during the early 21st century. The terrain is characterized by prominent geological landmarks, including the notable Wild Horse Butte and the cluster of Little Wild Horse Buttes to the southwest. Water sources are sparse but critical in this environment, marked by Big Spring and Smiley Spring, which feed into the intermittent flows of Cherokee Cr and Deep Cr.

Transportation through this high-desert area is limited primarily to Wild Cow Rd, which provides access through the various basins and draws. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the massive landforms of Deep Creek Rim and Deep Creek Butte. This survey provides a clear view of the complex topography of Wild Horse Basin and the numerous eroded pathways like White Rock Draw and Trough Spring Draw.
