2012 Map of Blue Gulch

About this map

Rock Creek Mountain and the prominent Blue Ridge anchor this interior portion of Fremont County, defined by a network of drainage draws and intermittent water sources. Early twenty-first-century infrastructure is sparse, primarily represented by Coen Rd, which traverses the high desert landscape near the namesake Blue Gulch. The presence of numerous named water sources, such as Keg Spring, Cogswell Spring, and Moone Spring, highlights the critical importance of reliable hydration in this arid environment. These features, along with Boiler Draw and Walker Draw, offer specific landmarks for tracing historical land use and livestock movement through the drainages of Oil Springs Cr and Conant Cr.
