2018 Map of Richards Gap

About this map

Richards Gap serves as a prominent geographic waypoint in this corner of the Wyoming-Utah borderlands. The landscape is defined by its industrial and ranching history, evidenced by Coal Mine Draw and various spring-fed landmarks such as Castello Spring and Brown Spring. Moving through the high-elevation terrain, the map details the wide expanse of Greenhough Flats and the enclosed Red Creek Basin, where numerous drainages like Beef Steer Cr and Snow Cr collect. To the south, the Tepee Mountains and Richards Mtn rise above the basin floor. The network of primitive roads, including Clay Basin Rd and Clay Basin Pipeline Rd, illustrates how this isolated region is utilized for resource extraction and livestock management, with the Trough Draw cutting through the center of the survey area.
