2015 Map of Baggs

About this map

The Little Snake River meanders across the high desert floor near the southern border of Carbon County, anchoring the settlement of Baggs. In this arid landscape, a complex system of water management is evident through features like Baggs Ditch, the Gibson Blair Ditch, and Ledford Slough, which support the valley's cattle ranching and agriculture. The terrain rises sharply from the river bottom toward prominent landmarks such as The Bluffs and Tincan Hill, while numerous ephemeral drainages like Poison Draw and Garrish Draw carve through the sagebrush-covered plains. The map captures the intersection of rural Wyoming and Colorado, where the state line divides the high-altitude topography. Local history is preserved at the Baggs Cem, situated just north of the river, while the town's street grid, including Cowpoke Rd and Osborne St, reflects its role as a regional hub for the surrounding ranchlands and energy basins.
