About this map

Water management and high-desert drainage patterns define this portion of Carbon County, where the historic settlement of Como sits along the southeastern edge. The landscape is marked by a sophisticated network of draws and springs, including Missouri John Spring and Hi Allen Spring, which feed into the rugged terrain of The Breaks. Modern infrastructure is visible through the alignment of Highway 30 287 and local roads like CR-316, which skirt the edges of prominent high points such as Hi Allen Ridge and Sevenmile Hill.

Irrigation efforts are recorded through the presence of the Big Ditch and the Rosebud Reservoir, essential features for ranching and resource management in this arid region. The map also captures several distinctive topographical landmarks, from the elevation of Wildcat Top in the north to Number 5 Ridge in the south, providing a detailed view of the natural and engineered features of the Medicine Bow landscape.
