About this map

Bridger National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the upper reaches of the Green River snake through the northern portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is characterized by massive landmarks such as Big Sheep Mtn and Battleship Mtn, with the waterway at Big Bend serving as a significant geographical anchor. Access to this wilderness is traced by several forest roads, including Green River Lakes Rd and Gypsum Creek Rd, which navigate the drainages and ridges.

Local relief is dramatic, climbing from the Green River valley up to Gypsum Mtn and Little Sheep Mtn. In the central portion of the map, Gypsum Park provides a relatively level break in the topography. A network of smaller creeks like Moose Cr, Dago Cr, and Gypsum Cr drain the surrounding heights into the river system. This area, largely devoid of formal settlements, highlights the preservation of mountain ecology and the prominence of public forest lands in the Wind River Range vicinity.
