About this map

The Medicine Bow River and its tributary, the Little Medicine Bow River, define the hydrology of this high-plains landscape in Carbon County. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features such as Fossil Ridge and Slate Ridge, while water management is evidenced by the presence of Smith Reservoir and several named catchments including Pine Draw Lake and Allen Lake. The southern portion of the area is crossed by Carbon Cr near the prominent Number 5 Ridge. Local routes like Co RD 121 and Oil Springs RD provide the primary access through these townships, connecting the various draws and springs, such as Sulphur Springs, that dot the dry Wyoming interior. The map illustrates a region where natural drainage and modern ranching or resource infrastructure meet in the open basin.
