About this map

Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape of Carbon County, Wyoming, as it appeared in the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and named canyons, including Squaw Canyon and Snowshoe Canyon, which cut through the ridges surrounding the Fillmore Creek basin. The namesake Fillmore Ranch serves as a primary human landmark in this ranching country, situated near a system of spillways like Spillway Elev 7092.

Regional transportation is centered on the unpaved Twentymile Road, which follows the natural contours of the land past Alamosa Gulch and Hay Gulch. This map records a specific era of land management and water resource development, noted by the presence of numerous springs such as Spring (Sulphur) and the intricate network of fence lines that divide the open range between Separation Creek and Olson Draw.
