2021 Map of Steamboat Mountain

About this map

Steamboat Mtn and the Leucite Hills dominate this high-altitude landscape where the Continental Divide winds across the northern terrain. The geography is defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated water sources, including Jack Morrow Cr, Fourth of July Wash, and Table Wash. Significant landmarks like Sand Gap and Johnson Canyon provide navigation points through the varied elevations of the Leucite Hills, while Split Rock Canyon and Blind Canyon cut deeply into the mesas. Human presence is marked primarily by ranching and utility roads such as Chilton Rd and Freighter Gap Rd, which connect remote catchments like Brown Rock Reservoir and the Carson Lakes. This survey captures the arid character of the Wyoming basin as it appeared in the early 2020s, highlighting the critical importance of seasonal water features like Split Rock Spring and Iron Spring in an otherwise water-scarce environment.
