2015 Map of Pine Ridge

About this map

The Medicine Bow River carves a winding path through this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, Wyoming. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent rises and flats, notably the eponymous Pine Ridge and nearby Indian Hill. This area is a network of water management features, including the Vandiver Ditch and Thornton Ditch, which redirect water across open expanses like Spade Flats and Horne Flats. Evidence of early 21st-century rural infrastructure is visible along E Allen Rd S and CR-320, while natural landmarks like Alligator Rock and Bible Rock provide distinctive points of reference for local historians. High-desert water sources such as Cronberg Spring, East Allen Lake, and Horne Lake are critical features in this arid environment, illustrating the complex relationship between the topography and the region's limited water supply.
