2011 Map of Wade

About this map

Wade and the surrounding Carbon County landscape appear here in the early 21st century, defined by a network of drainage systems and isolated outposts. The settlement patterns of this high plains region are traced through markers like Parker Cabin in the north and Baker Cabin near Castle Coulee in the southwest. Water management is a primary feature of the local topography, highlighted by the Depression Reservoir and the accompanying Depression Detention Dam which capture seasonal runoff. The map documents the convergence of several waterways, including Jack Creek, Bridger Creek, and its various branches. Transportation in this area is sparse, primarily centered on Pryor Mountain Rd, which provides access through the drainage-carved terrain. This survey reflects a landscape where human presence remains limited to strategic cabins and small-scale infrastructure within a complex hydraulic system.
