About this map

Wilkins Peak and Flattop Mtn dominate this high-desert landscape in Wyoming, revealing a complex network of drainage systems and rugged topography. The area is defined by its deep, named ravines including Little Firehole Canyon, Middle Firehole Canyon, and Slippery Jim Canyon. These landforms dictate the passage of early 21st-century infrastructure, with routes like Slippery Jim Canyon Rd and Pipeline Rd following the contours of the terrain.

Water features are sparse but critical, represented by Little Bitter Cr, Cedar Cr, and the Sand Wash. The map meticulously details the Public Land Survey System grid across multiple townships and ranges, providing a precise framework for land ownership and resource management. This survey captures a moment in the modern management of Wyoming's public lands, where traditional ranching roads intersect with energy infrastructure.
