About this map

Fillmore Ranch and its namesake drainage, Fillmore Creek, anchor this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County. The terrain is defined by the crest of the Continental Divide, which separates the basin floor from more complex relief to the east. Several significant geological features converge here, including the deep incision of Continental Divide Canyon and the branching systems of Snowshoe Canyon and Alamosa Gulch.

Modern infrastructure is limited to the corridor of Twenty Mile Rd, which skirts the edge of the divide and provides access to this isolated ranching country. The hydrological patterns show water moving through several seasonal drainages such as Separation Creek, Slide Draw, and Hay Gulch. This survey illustrates the enduring nature of large-scale ranching operations and the stark topographic boundaries that govern land use in this part of Wyoming.
