About this map

Sulphur Springs and its surrounding high-desert drainage basins define this portion of the Wyoming landscape. The map details a complex network of ephemeral waterways and landforms including Alamosa Gulch and Snowshoe Canyon in the north, giving way to the southern drainage of Cow Creek. Evidence of cattle ranching and water management in this arid region is visible through features like the J O Reservoir and the J O Road that services it.

Settlement is sparse, with The Willows and The Sand Hills serving as primary landmarks among the draws and gulches. The terrain is deeply articulated by erosional features such as Buck Springs Draw and Bear Gulch, illustrating the geological character of Carbon County. Transportation is limited to a few established routes like Twenty Mile Road, which traverses the central flats between Muddy Creek and Dry Cow Creek.
