2017 Map of Middlewood Hill

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation terrain in Carbon County, defining the hydrologic split of the region. Watercourses such as Rasmussen Cr, Sage Cr, and Trapper Cr drain the slopes of Middlewood Hill, which rises as a prominent landmark in the center of the sheet. The landscape is characterized by its high meadows and unique geological features, notably the Midget Geyser and the expansive Round Meadow to the northeast. Human infrastructure is limited to primitive routes like Sage Creek Rd and McCarty Canyon Rd, alongside water management features including Adams Reservoir and Low Reservoir. This 2017 edition by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern state of these remote public lands, including the headwaters of numerous small drainages like Little Jack Cr and Beaver Cr.
