2015 Map of Fort Steele

About this map

Fort Steele sits as a central landmark in this Carbon County landscape, situated where the North Platte River winds through the high desert. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and natural gateways, including Boneside Pass and the steep Fort Steele Breaks. To the north and west, the heights of Cedar Ridge and Mt Steele overlook the drainage patterns of Taylor Draw and Wet Draw. Modern transit corridors like Co Road 347 and remnants of the Old Hwy trace the historical movement of people through this corridor. The presence of Alkali Flat and the seasonal courses of Saint Marys Cr illustrate the arid environment that has long dictated the placement of trails and settlements in this part of Wyoming.
