2015 Map of Middlewood Hill

About this map

The Continental Divide traverses this high-elevation landscape in southern Wyoming, dictating the flow of the intricate drainage networks that define the terrain. To the north and west, Sage Cr and its tributaries, such as Rasmussen Cr and Middlewood Cr, carve through the upland, while south of the divide, Little Jack Cr and Low Cr flow toward the Low Reservoir. The prominent Middlewood Hill stands as a significant landmark near the center of the sheet, surrounded by isolated water features like Adams Reservoir and the uniquely named Midget Geyser. The area’s sparse road network, consisting of Sage Creek Rd, McCarty Canyon Rd, and Jack Creek Rd, suggests a landscape primarily dedicated to ranching and resource management. Long-established cattle-country landmarks like Round Meadow provide context for the historical use of these high plains and foothills in Carbon County.
