2017 Map of McFadden

About this map

McFadden stands as the primary settlement in this high-plains landscape, situated where the high desert terrain meets complex drainage networks. The area is defined by significant water features and seasonal drainages, most notably the Medicine Bow River and the winding course of Foote Cr. To the south, the topography shifts near the Pine Ridge landform and the Upper Foote Creek Flats, reflecting a region dominated by ranching and resource management. The map details a sophisticated network of water control, including the Pine Cone Number 1 Reservoir and numerous Beaver Ponds, essential for sustaining life in this arid Carbon County environment. Transportation is anchored by the Medicine Bow-McFadden Rd, which connects the small community to the broader Wyoming frontier, while smaller features like Frank Draw and Willow Springs point to the localized landmarks used by generations of residents.
