About this map

The Little Snake River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, defining the layout of the town of Baggs. This high-desert region is marked by an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to local ranching and agriculture, including the Gibson Blair Ditch, Baggs Ditch, and the West Side Canal. These man-made waterways contrast with natural drainage features like Ledford Slough and Muddy Creek, which cut through the arid terrain.

North of the settlement, the geography rises into the prominent elevations of The Bluffs and Weber Mesa. Local landmarks such as Tincan Hill and Fivemile Point provide navigational points across a network of rural routes like Poison Buttes Rd and Cottonwood Draw Rd. The presence of the Baggs Cemetery and the Detention Dam 1392 Number 2 further illustrates the intersection of human infrastructure and the challenging environment of the Wyoming-Colorado borderlands.
