2021 Map of Smith Draw West

About this map

Chokecherry Knob stands as a prominent high point in this high-altitude Carbon County landscape, where deep drainages and ridges define the terrain west of the Continental Divide. This 2021 digital survey illustrates the complex topography of the Hugus Cliff escarpment and the winding corridor of Wild Horse Canyon. The map area is largely defined by public land management and the checkerboard of township and range lines, including t20n r87w and t19n r87w. The absence of major settlements emphasizes the isolation of the high desert, where features like Fivemile Ridge and Sheep Mtn serve as the primary landmarks for navigation across this open country. Geographic details such as Hay Gulch provide insight into the seasonal water drainage patterns essential for grazing and wildlife in this part of Wyoming.
