About this map

The Shirley Mountains and Bald Mountain dominate the northern terrain of this Carbon County region, giving way to a network of creeks and draws that feed the Medicine Bow River at the southern edge. The landscape is defined by its ranching history, with established operations such as the T E Ranch, Walgreen Ranch, and Campbell Ranch situated along the watercourses. Smaller outposts like the Maynard Homestead and Walsh Ranch dot the higher elevations near Cottonwood Creek and Mud Spring Draw.

Water management and surveying are evident through the presence of a Gaging Sta on the river and landmarks like Chalk Bluff. The drainage patterns, including Troublesome Creek and Roaring Creek, illustrate the complex hydrology of this high-plains environment during the mid-century. Researchers can trace the placement of isolated reservoirs like Vivian Res and numerous springs that supported the livestock economy of central Wyoming.
