2021 Map of Seaverson Reservoir

About this map

The Continental Divide crests through this high desert portion of Carbon County, Wyoming, forming a topographic spine across the landscape. The arid character of the terrain is defined by an extensive network of drainage features like Coal Bank Wash and Soap Hole Wash, which carve through the high plains. Water remains the critical anchor for human activity and livestock here, evidenced by the presence of Seaverson Reservoir and isolated water sources such as Coal Bank Spring and Chicken Spring. The map captures the distinct geographic transition between basins, where named features like Coal Gulch and Holler Draw suggest the historical importance of small-scale mineral or topographical landmarks in an otherwise open range. Seasonal drainages including Fillmore Cr and Bad Water Cr further illustrate the watershed patterns that dictate the movement of both wildlife and industry in this remote region.
