2015 Map of Ragan

About this map

Ragan sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape in Uinta County, where the high desert meets the ridge lines of the Overthrust Belt. The topography is defined by sharp elevation shifts across The Hogsback and Pine Ridge, while a series of deep drainages like Coal Mine Draw and Wasmer Draw illustrate the area's resource extraction history. Grounded in local heritage, the Spring Valley Cem is located in the southern reaches near Antelope Cr, marking a quiet record of early settlers. A network of county roads, including Piedmont Rd and Bar Hat Rd, crisscross the terrain to connect remote landmarks like Bald Knoll and the water source at Mineral Springs. The map also captures the local hydrography through several seasonal flows, such as Byrne Cr and Hinshaw Cr, which historically dictated movement through the high country.
