About this map

The Continental Divide National Scenic Trail cuts a diagonal path across this Carbon County landscape, tracing the high ground through a series of significant elevation markers. The terrain is defined by prominent features such as Rendle Hill, Ninemile Hill, and the high vantage of Brown Canyon Rim. This 2015 survey illustrates a land where water sources are vital but scattered, marked by points like Fish Pond Reservoir, Bell Springs, and Cold Springs.

Hydrological patterns are anchored by Separation Cr and the ephemeral drainage of Cold Spring Draw, which feed into the wider Separation Flats and toward Separation Lake in the northeast. This region, categorized by its open basins like Olsen Basin and the winding Willow Rd, represents the high-desert character of south-central Wyoming. The map provides clear evidence of the grazing and migration infrastructure essential to this part of the state, centered around the divide's natural corridor.
