2017 Map of Blue Gap

About this map

Muddy Cr and its various tributaries, including Cow Cr and Dry Cow Cr, define the drainage patterns of this high-desert landscape in Carbon County. The terrain is marked by distinct topographical features like Mexican Flats in the west and the namesake Blue Gap pass further south. This 2017 survey illustrates a network of essential backcountry access routes, such as Wild Cow Rd and Standard Rd, which serve the various township and range sections of this rural territory. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the Red Gulch Detention Dam 1592 Number 5 located in the southwestern corner. These labels provide a clear view of the hydrological and logistical infrastructure required to navigate and maintain the open ranges of southern Wyoming.
