About this map

Baggs sits along the Little Snake River at the southern edge of Carbon County, Wyoming, just north of the Colorado state line. The settlement serves as a central hub for the surrounding ranching and high-desert landscape, with the Baggs Cem located nearby. Water management is a defining characteristic of this arid region, evidenced by an intricate network of irrigation features such as the Baggs Ditch, Gibson Blair Ditch, and W Side Canal.

The surrounding terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations and drainages, including Devils Canyon and the prominent Weber Mesa. Local geography is further defined by various draws and hills, such as Van Fleet Draw, Streckfus Draw, and Tincan Hill, which provide relief to the landscape. To the north, The Bluffs and Fivemile Point rise above the confluence of seasonal creeks like Muddy Cr and Red Cr, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the high plains.
