2015 Map of Blue Point

About this map

Emigrant Trl cuts across this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, marking a historic corridor of overland travel through Wyoming. The terrain is defined by the prominent Blue Point landform and the erosion patterns of Demming Draw, while the southern reaches are influenced by the meandering course of the Blacks Fork. Modern industrial activity is visible in the northwest at the Texasgulf Tailings Reservoir, reflecting the region's mining and mineral processing history. The map also traces local infrastructure including Big Island Rd and several county routes like CR-11, showing how transportation networks have evolved from wagon trails to modern roads. This 2015 survey provides a clear view of the sparse settlement patterns and large-scale public land divisions characteristic of the High Plains.
