About this map

Seminoe Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this high-altitude Wyoming region, where the shoreline meets a network of dry washes and seasonal creeks. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Cheyenne Ridge and I D Ridge, which rise above the surrounding drainage basins of O'Brien Cr and Hurt Cr. This 2021 survey illustrates a sparse ranching and recreational environment, where infrastructure is limited to secondary routes like Seminoe Rd and the Seminoe Boat Club Rd, providing access to the water's edge.

Water remains the critical resource for this part of Carbon County, marked by isolated points like O'Brien Spring and the complex system of draws including Coal Springs Draw and the descriptively named Stinkhole Draw. These features reflect the area's geological character, where intermittent water flow has carved deep into the basin over millennia, creating a landscape used primarily for grazing and reservoir-based activity.
