About this map

Seminoe Reservoir dominates the eastern portion of this high-altitude Wyoming landscape, where the waters of the North Platte River are impounded against a complex series of drainage draws and high ridges. The terrain is defined by dramatic topographic shifts, moving from the shoreline of the reservoir to elevated features like Cheyenne Ridge and the uniquely named I D Ridge. This 2017 study illustrates a region primarily accessed via Seminoe Rd, serving as a vital record of water management and land navigation in Carbon County.

Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, represented by named features such as O'Brien Spring and several seasonal drainages including Stinkhole Draw and Coal Springs Draw. The map meticulously tracks the paths of O'Brien Cr, Hurt Cr, and Rankin Cr as they cut through the township and range blocks, providing essential data for those studying the hydrologic patterns and ranching history of this high-desert basin.
