2021 Map of Rawlins Peak

About this map

Rawlins Peak and Cherokee Peak dominate this high-desert landscape in Carbon County, where the topography is defined by seasonal water sources and deep draws. The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds along the eastern ridges, providing a modern connection across a terrain historically defined by the Cherokee Cr and Sugar Cr drainages. To the south, the infrastructure of the Interstate 80 corridor is evident at Fourmile Bridge, marking the transition from the high-elevation peaks to the lowlands surrounding Hogback Lake. The map reveals a network of established ranch and access roads, such as Cherokee Rd and Wagon Circle Rd, that navigate around landforms like Sixteenmile Draw and Coal Mine Draw, reflecting the area's long-standing utility for grazing and natural resource management.
