2015 Map of Seaverson Reservoir

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this Carbon County landscape, marking the high ground of the watershed in a region defined by ephemeral watercourses and deep seasonal drainages. In the northern reaches, the Seaverson Reservoir serves as a vital point of water collection, fed by the winding Fillmore Cr and Coal Bank Cr. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous draws and washes, including the descriptive Coal Gulch and Holler Draw, which characterize the high-desert environment. In the southeast, Chicken Spring and its associated Chicken Springs Wash provide rare named water features in a territory also shaped by Soap Hole Wash and Bad Water Cr. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the high plains where the land’s topography dictates the movement of seasonal runoff across the continental crest.
