2021 Map of McFadden

About this map

The McFadden settlement anchors this high-plains landscape in Carbon County, where the transition from riparian zones to dry draws defines the local geography. To the north, the Medicine Bow River and Foote Cr shape the drainage patterns, supplemented by irrigation works like the Thornton Ditch. The presence of the Pine Cone Number 1 Reservoir and several Beaver Ponds along Watkins Cr suggests a reliance on managed water sources in this arid Wyoming environment. Significant landmarks include the wide expanse of the Upper Foote Creek Flats and the elevated terrain of Pine Ridge. Transportation through the area is maintained via the Medicine Bow-McFadden Rd, which links the sparse residential pockets to the broader region, while Willow Springs and Frank Draw provide specific reference points for those studying the natural hydrology and landform history of the Medicine Bow basin.
