2012 Map of Spanish Mine

About this map

Ferris Mountains dominate the southern edge of this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where drainage systems define the movement across the terrain. The central portion of the sheet is marked by the wide, level expanse of Arkansas Flats, a feature that likely served as a primary grazing area or travel corridor in this part of Wyoming. To the north, the topography narrows into Pole Canyon, while the remainder of the area is carved by a network of seasonal watercourses including Arkansas Cr and its tributary E Arkansas Cr. A singular roadway, Co RD 499, provides the primary access through these flats, connecting the various creek basins such as Rush Cr and Pete Cr. The map illustrates a high-desert environment where water remains the most significant landmark for anyone navigating the range.
