1963 Map of Richards Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The high desert landscape of the Wyoming-Utah border comes into sharp focus through this mid-century survey, illustrating a terrain defined by drainage patterns and remote springs. The state line divides Sweetwater and Daggett Counties, cutting across a series of rugged landforms including the Richards Mountains and the Tepee Mountains. Water sources are vital landmarks in this arid region, evidenced by numerous named points like Castello Spring, Jones Springs, and Beef Steer Spring. The map documents a sparsely inhabited area where human activity is marked primarily by infrastructure for resource extraction and navigation, such as Coal Mine Draw, a Drill Hole, and a network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails. The dramatic topography is further highlighted by the Red Creek Badlands and the wide expanse of Greenhough Flats, showing the transition between basin floors and mountain ridges.
