About this map

Foote Cr Lake and the winding Foote Cr define the high plains drainage within this corner of Carbon and Albany Counties. This 2017 study illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by natural topography and water management, where the Thornton Ditch draws from Thornton Lake to support ranching operations in the arid Wyoming basin. The terrain rises significantly toward the Foote Creek Rim in the southeast, while Iron Hill stands as a prominent landmark overlooking Iron Hill Lake to the west.

Transportation through this high-elevation corridor relies on a network of rural routes, including Co Rd 67 and Marshall Rd. The presence of the Medicine Bow V O R Rd reflects the modern infrastructure requirements for aerial navigation over the vast expanses of the western United States. This map captures the intersection of traditional land use and contemporary technical installations in a region dominated by sagebrush and seasonal waterways.
