2017 Map of Chalk Hills

About this map

Little Medicine Bow River and its tributary, the S Fork Little Medicine Bow River, define the hydrology of this high-elevation landscape on the border of Carbon and Albany counties. The topography is dominated by the Chalk Hills and various drainage features such as Chalk Draw and Slate Draw. This region is characterized by a sparse network of unpaved transit routes, including Little Medicine Rd, Chalk Hills Rd, and Holiday Rd, which provide access to the open range and water resources like Three Mile Reservoir. The lack of concentrated settlements or industrial markers suggests a dedicated focus on livestock grazing and water management in this high-plains environment, where seasonal watercourses like Threemile Cr carve through the sedimentary terrain.
