About this map

Arlington sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude Wyoming landscape, where the plains meet the rising slopes of the Medicine Bow Mountains. This 2017 survey details a transition from the agricultural valley of Rock Cr to the protected timberlands of the Medicine Bow National Forest. The map traces the critical route of the Elk Mountain-Arlington Rd, a historical corridor that follows the base of the mountains.

The southern half of the quadrangle is defined by steep drainage networks and prominent peaks such as Rock Mtn and Deer Mtn. High-country water sources like W Fork Dutton Cr and Onemile Cr carve through the foothills, indicating the area's role as a vital watershed for the region. Notable landmarks like Cooper Hill anchor the southeastern corner, providing a clear picture of the complex topography that has shaped settlement and transit through Carbon County.
