About this map

The Green River carves through the dramatic geological formations of Northwest Colorado, entering the northern reaches of Dinosaur National Monument. This survey illustrates the river's path as it transitions from the open valley of Browns Park into the restrictive walls of the Canyon of Lodore. Landmarks such as the Gates of Lodore mark the entrance to the canyon, while significant topographical features like Diamond Mtn and Offield Mtn dominate the surrounding highlands.

For researchers and land historians, the map documents the complex drainage systems and water management of the high desert, including Tittle Reservoir, Miles Reservoir, and Offield Reservoir. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, from the low-lying Dummy Bottom to the high elevations of Black Ridge and the Zenobia Basin. The layout of local infrastructure is represented by Co RD 34, providing a clear view of the area's limited access and preservation status during this period.
