2015 Map of Coal Mine Ridge

About this map

Coal Mine Ridge and the Atlantic Rim define the central landscape of this Carbon County region, where the terrain transitions through a series of canyons and draws. This 2015 survey provides a modern look at the high-desert topography, showing the path of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail as it winds north toward Hogback Lake. The map reveals a land shaped by scarce water sources and historical resource extraction, evidenced by features like Coal Mine Draw and isolated water points such as Chicken Pete Spring and Ninemile Spring. While largely open country, the drainage patterns of Sugar Cr and the presence of Eightmile Lake illustrate the vital network of basins and canyons, including Robinson Canyon and Bull Canyon, that characterize this part of Wyoming's interior.
