1963 Map of Richards Gap

About this map

Richards Gap serves as a prominent natural pass through the high country along the border of Sweetwater County, Wyoming, and Daggett County, Utah. In the early 1960s, this landscape was characterized by a remote network of trails, including a Pack Trail and various Jeep Trails, which facilitated movement through the Red Creek Badlands and across the Tepee Mountains. Water sources were critical to the survival of livestock and travelers in this arid environment, evidenced by numerous named points such as Bad Steer Spring, Jones Springs, and Castello Spring. The inclusion of a Pipe Line and several Drill Holes indicates the era's ongoing exploration and infrastructure development in the drainage basins of Red Creek and Greenhough Creek. Geologists and researchers can also observe the topographical shifts from Greenhough Flats into the carved-out depths of Scott Canyon.
