2012 Map of Youngs Pass

About this map

Youngs Pass and the surrounding high country of Carbon County define this landscape of seasonal drainages and remote ranching outposts. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of intermittent watercourses, including Whiskey Cr and Currant Cr, which flow toward the southern meadows. These water sources historically supported cattle operations like the Bar V Ranch and Bar II Ranch near the northern boundary. The southern portion of the map centers on Hays Meadow, a significant open area where Indian Cr and Birch Cr converge. Transportation in this part of Wyoming remains sparse, anchored by Co Rd 489 in the northeast, reflecting a landscape where land use is dictated by the availability of water and navigable passes through the ridges.
