2012 Map of Blue Point

About this map

The meanders of Blacks Fork define the southern landscape of this Sweetwater County survey, where the river carves through the arid high plains. Historically significant routes cross the terrain, most notably the Emigrant Trl, which represents the path of nineteenth-century westward expansion. The presence of the Eckes Homestead near the riverbank provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early ranching and land claims in this part of Wyoming. Industrial and modern access is marked by Texasgulf Rd and Big Island Rd, reflecting the area's ongoing connection to regional mining and transit. Rising above the draws and seasonal drainages, the landform known as Blue Point serves as a prominent natural landmark in an otherwise open and expansive environment.
