2021 Map of Gravel Spring

About this map

Commissary Hill and the Red Canyon Rim define the high northwestern reaches of this Fremont County landscape, where the terrain drops into a network of drainages feeding into the Beaver Cr basin. The map reveals an intricate system of water management in an arid environment, notably the Tweed Ditch and Schlichting Ditch, which redirect flow across the high plateaus. These man-made features contrast with the natural hydrology of Gravel Spring and Chalk Spring, which likely served as vital landmarks for early travel and livestock. To the east, the Dilabaugh Buttes stand as prominent markers above Wilson Draw, illustrating the classic high-plains topography of the Cottonwood Divide. The presence of Dickinson Ave suggests a more modern layer of access to this otherwise deeply corrugated landscape of gulches and draws.
