About this map

Marbleton and Big Piney anchor this Sublette County landscape at the edge of the Wyoming range, where the high desert meets the irrigated plains of the Green River basin. The map reveals a high-altitude transportation and industrial corridor characterized by the Miley Memorial Field Airport and specialized roads like Energy Rd and Industrial, reflecting the region's historical reliance on mineral and natural gas extraction.

Water distribution is central to the area's geography, with the confluence of numerous tributaries including Muddy Cr, N Piney Cr, and Middle Piney Cr. Local landmarks such as Three Bridges and Ferry Island highlight the historic crossings and natural breaks in the river system. Topographic details like New Spring Gulch and Bray Draw provide a clear view of the drainage patterns that have shaped the local ranching and industrial development during the early twenty-first century.
