About this map

Rattlesnake Pass defines the central topography of this Carbon County landscape, where the high-altitude terrain transitions between drainages. The area is marked by a long history of western transit and settlement, anchored by the Fort Halleck Memorial and nearby Palm Ranch. These landmarks reflect the region's ranching heritage and its position along early travel corridors, further evidenced by the namesake Rattlesnake Pass Rd.

Hydrological features are central to the map's detail, including the complex drainage networks of Rattlesnake Cr, Halleck Cr, and Kinney Cr. The presence of the Hanna Water Supply near Mullen Ranch suggests the infrastructure required to support more distant communities in this arid environment. To the southeast, the slopes of Elk Mountain rise near Mill Cr, providing a clear view of the varied elevations that characterize this portion of Wyoming.
