2017 Map of Halfway Hill

About this map

Smith Reservoir sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Carbon County, representing a critical water source in an arid region defined by intermittent drainage systems. The terrain is structured around several significant watercourses including Carbon Cr, First Sand Cr, and Second Sand Cr, which carve through the high plains toward the Spade Flats. Transportation through this remote stretch of Wyoming is primarily facilitated by the Elk Mountain Medicine Bow Rd and secondary routes like Co Rd 120. Notable landforms such as Halfway Hill and the long depression of Chapman Draw dictate the local topography, offering a clear view of the rural ranching and resource management environment as it appeared in the early 21st century.
