2017 Map of Coad Mountain

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest dominates the southern half of this landscape, where the elevations of the Medicine Bow Mountains rise toward landmarks like Coad Mtn and Pennock Mtn. The terrain is defined by a series of distinct drainage basins and high-altitude passes, including Pass Creek Basin and Oberg Pass. A complex network of watercourses, such as Pass Cr, Jack Cr, and Brush Cr, flows through the canyons and gulches, reflecting the intricate hydrology of the Wyoming high country. Evidence of historical land management and water use appears in features like the Little Brush Cr Ditch and the winding route of Pass Creek Rd, which provides access through Pass Creek Canyon. The map reveals a remote environment where the natural topography of Indian Hill and Paulson Hill dictates the sparse path of human infrastructure in Carbon County.
