1953 Map of Seminoe Dam

About this map

The North Platte River carves a dramatic path through the Seminoe Mountains, serving as the centerpiece for major mid-century hydroelectric and irrigation infrastructure. The landscape is defined by the three-stage reservoir system, including the massive Seminoe Reservoir and the more compact Kortes Reservoir tucked within Seminoe Canyon. This 1953 field-checked survey highlights the early decades of the Seminoe Dam and Kortes Dam operations, which transformed the rugged high-desert hydrology of Carbon County.
