2012 Map of Baggs

About this map

Baggs sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape near the Wyoming-Colorado border, where the Little Snake River meanders through a valley defined by agricultural irrigation and rugged topography. The settlement is anchored by a tight grid of streets like Cedar Dr and Spruce St, while the surrounding basin relies on an intricate network of waterways including the Baggs Ditch, Gibson Blair Ditch, and the West Side Canal. These diversions from the river and Ledford Slough support the local ranching economy against the backdrop of prominent landforms such as Weber Mesa and Tincan Hill. North of the town center, the terrain rises toward The Bluffs and Fivemile Point, where drainage features like Van Fleet Draw and Streckfus Draw carve into the dry earth. This map documents a modern snapshot of a classic Western crossroads, balancing river-bottom agriculture with the vast, open spaces of the Carbon County interior.
