2017 Map of Blue Mesa West

About this map

Blue Mesa dominates this 2017 terrain study, marking the high ground along the county line between Hot Springs and Washakie counties. The landscape is characterized by its drainage and irrigation patterns, notably the path of Grass Cr winding through the southern and western sections. Human activity is focused primarily on water management and transportation, seen in the presence of Perkins Ditch at the northern margin and the lone corridor of Blue Mesa Rd. The township and range boundaries, including t46n r97w and t46n r96w, reveal the geometric partitioning of this arid Wyoming range land, where ranching and resource management remain the primary drivers of regional development.
