2015 Map of Seminoe Dam SE

About this map

North Platte River and Medicine Bow River converge within the extensive waters of the Seminoe Reservoir, dominating the hydrologic landscape of this Carbon County region. The topography is defined by a series of high-desert drainage patterns and elevated landforms, most notably the prominent Horseshoe Ridge which runs east-to-west across the central portion of the sheet. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal watercourses and catchments, including Red Reservoir and Dry Reservoir, which support the arid high-plains ecosystem. Numerous named topographic depressions such as Big Draw, McNees Draw, and Homestake Draw highlight the erosional history of the basin. These features, along with tributaries like Saylor Cr and Beaver Jimmy Cr, illustrate the intricate drainage systems that feed into the central reservoir system during periods of runoff.
