2017 Map of Smith Draw West

About this map

Sheep Mtn and Chokecherry Knob dominate the high-elevation landscape of Carbon County in this western Wyoming study. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages, including Smith Draw and Hugus Draw, which cut through the high desert plateau. Large-scale geographic features such as Fivemile Ridge and Hugus Cliff provide significant vertical relief across the quadrangle, illustrating the complex erosion patterns of the region. This 2017 survey details the Bureau of Land Management township and range system, showing the legal land divisions that govern this section of the Great Divide Basin. The map is a critical resource for understanding the water-sculpted topography of Wild Horse Canyon and Hay Gulch in a region where local geography is tied to specific named landmarks.
