2015 Map of Fillmore Ranch

About this map

Fillmore Ranch is the primary human landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Carbon County, where the topography is defined by the Continental Divide cutting through the center of the sheet. The area is characterized by a complex network of drainage systems, including the waters of Fillmore Cr and Separation Cr. The terrain reveals many named local features that provide insight into the geography used by ranchers and early travelers, such as Olson Draw, Alamosa Gulch, and Snowshoe Canyon. Navigating this part of Wyoming relies on Twentymile Rd, which serves as a vital corridor through the canyons and draws. This document illustrates the sparse but precisely named landscape of the Great Divide Basin, showing how water sources and natural paths like Hay Gulch and Jep Canyon dictated the movement and settlement patterns of this high desert region.
