2018 Map of Vigo

About this map

Meadow Valley Wash defines the topography of this desert landscape, cutting a deep drainage through the surrounding heights in southern Lincoln County. The small settlements of Vigo and Galt are established along the wash, positioned at the mouth of steep corridors like Vigo Canyon and Mormon Canyon. The terrain is characterized by complex drainage systems and isolation, with Co Rte 4230 providing the primary transit route through the valley. To the southeast, the slopes of the Mormon Mountains rise sharply from the valley floor. Rare water sources like Hackberry Spring located in Hackberry Canyon highlight the importance of localized springs in this arid environment, while the proximity of the rail-corridor settlements suggests the area's historical reliance on the valley's natural passage for transportation and connectivity.
