About this map

The Continental Divide traverses the high desert landscape of Carbon County, Wyoming, in this contemporary topographic record. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage features and prominent landforms such as High Point and Sugar Loaf. These features reflect the complex hydrology of the Great Divide Basin, where seasonal water flow is marked by Coal Bank Wash and Antelope Cr.

Human activity is represented by the path of Eight Mile Lake Rd, which cuts through the region's public land survey townships. Points of interest for those studying the physical geography of the area include Coal Bank Spring and several named valleys like Horse Pasture Draw and Standard Draw. The map provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries that organize this part of the Wyoming interior.
