2017 Map of Smiley Draw

About this map

Wild Horse Butte and the surrounding high desert terrain define this corner of Carbon County. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Smiley Draw, Wild Horse Draw, and White Rock Draw, which feed into larger water bodies like Cherokee Creek and Deep Creek. This area of Wyoming, mapped in 2017, reveals a sparse network of infrastructure where Wild Cow Road and Wild Horse Road provide the primary access through the townships. Significant landmarks such as Little Wild Horse Buttes and the Deep Creek Rim provide clear topographic orientation. Natural water sources are indicated by Big Spring and Smiley Spring, which were essential for both local wildlife and early ranching operations in this arid environment.
