2012 Map of Seminoe Dam

About this map

Seminoe Dam stands as the primary engineering focus of this high-desert landscape, anchoring the northern reach of the Seminoe Reservoir. The topography is defined by the sharp transition between the impounded waters of the N Platte River and the complex drainage network of the surrounding ranchlands. To the north, the waters of the Pathfinder Reservoir just reach into the frame, creating a dual-reservoir environment separated by a network of seasonal drainages with evocative names such as Sunday Morning Cr, Tincup Cr, and Marking Pen Cr. The inclusion of Seminoe State Park and Anderson Ranch highlights the dual nature of the area as both a recreational destination and a working landscape. Primitive routes like Moore Rd and Seminoe Rd provide the only access through this dissected terrain, illustrating the remoteness of Carbon County's water-management infrastructure.
