2015 Map of Blue Gulch

About this map

Beaver Rim and Rock Creek Mtn dominate the southern landscape of this Fremont County quadrangle, where the terrain breaks sharply across the high desert. The map captures a sophisticated network of seasonal drainages and springs that have long dictated movement through this arid environment. Primary watercourses including Oil Springs Cr, Conant Cr, and Rock Cr carve through the sedimentary layers, creating features like Blue Gulch and Boiler Draw. Human imprints are primarily limited to ranching infrastructure, specifically Poston Ranch Rd and Oil Springs Rd, which provide access to reliable water sources such as Cogswell Spring and Moone Spring. This 2015 data reflects the enduring ranching character of the region, showing how modern land management still aligns with the natural geography of Blue Ridge and its surrounding draws.
