About this map

Seminoe Reservoir defines the southwestern corner of this Carbon County landscape, where the Medicine Bow River meets the impounded waters of the reservoir. The map reveals a settlement pattern characterized by large-scale ranching, with family-named operations like Huhtula Ranch, Pallesen Ranch, and Atkinson Ranch distributed across a network of drainages including Beaver Jimmy Cr and Austin Cr.

The central topographic feature, Schneider Ridge, rises above a series of significant draws and canyons, most notably Schoolhouse Draw and Cottonwood Draw. This 2012 survey illustrates the connectivity of this rural high-desert region through roads such as the Hanna Leo Rd and Shiners Point Rd, which link the various homesteads to the shoreline and the rugged interior of the Seminoe State Park vicinity.
