2015 Map of Richards Gap

About this map

Greenhough Place sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape along the border of Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and Daggett County, Utah. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic draws and canyons, most notably Coal Mine Draw and Scott Canyon, which cut through the ridges of Richards Mtn and the Tepee Mountains. Water sources are critical features in this arid environment, marked by numerous named springs such as Castello Spring, Ely Spring, and Brown Spring. These water points, along with Greenhough Flats, suggest a landscape historically utilized for livestock grazing or resource extraction, connected by primitive routes like Clay Basin Pipeline Rd. The map detail captures the remote geography of Richards Gap before modern developments, preserving the nomenclature of the local ranchers and early surveyors.
