2012 Map of Hell Gap

About this map

The Patten Creek School stands as a central landmark in this Goshen County landscape, where the geography is defined by family-named ranches and intermittent drainages. Settlement patterns here are tied to the water sources that cut through the high plains, such as Patten Cr and Broom Cr, which are supported by features like Patten Creek Spring and Broom Creek Spring. The presence of the Old 4 J Ranch and 4J Canyon suggest a long-standing agricultural history, while the Greenhope Mine to the east points to the region's mineral interests. The terrain is marked by significant topographical shifts at Hell Gap and various draws like Grant Agnew Draw and Sam Draw, all connected by a network of local routes including Emigrant Hill Rd and Patten Creek Rd.
