2017 Map of Red Gap

About this map

Salli Mine sits near the northern boundary of this Lincoln County survey, indicating the small-scale resource extraction that punctuated this high-elevation landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and prominent rises, most notably the uniquely named Five Slash Fifty-Three Knoll. The hydrology of the area is complex, with La Barge Cr and its tributaries like Chappell Cr and Spring Cr carving through the northern sections, while the southern reaches are marked by Muddy Cr and Little Muddy Cr. Access to these remote drainages is provided by unpaved routes such as La Barge Creek Rd and Muddy Creek Rd. This 2017 mapping of the region illustrates the persistence of traditional land use patterns, where topographic features like Holden Hollow and Dry Hollow remain the primary landmarks in an area dominated by public land management and low-density ranching infrastructure.
