2021 Map of Blue Point

About this map

Blacks Fork meanders through the southern reaches of this Sweetwater County landscape, defining the local drainage system alongside Sevenmile Wash. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Blue Point and the natural corridor of Demming Draw. This area preserves a layered history of western transit, where the historic path of the Emigrant Trl cuts across the high ground, intersecting modern infrastructure like Texasgulf Rd. The map illustrates the transition from historical wagon routes to the industrial and access roads of the modern era, including La Barge Rd and Big Island Rd, which serve the high plains north of the river. The survey captures a region where topographic features and transportation corridors have long been dictated by the winding path of the river valley.
