1996 Map of Clay Basin

About this map

Ashley National Forest and the Browns Park Waterfowl Management Area dominate this section of the Utah-Wyoming border, where the Green River carves a deep path through the high desert. The map reveals a landscape defined by natural resource extraction and recreational access, featuring a dense concentration of Gas Wells throughout the northern basin. This industrial footprint at Clay Basin Camp contrasts with the numerous backcountry sites along the river, such as Fire Flat Camp, Elm Grove Camp, and Airstrip Camp. Significant river crossings and access points like the Taylor Flat Bridge and Raft Ramp highlight the area's importance for water-based transit. The terrain is marked by prominent geological features including Two Horse Butte and Band Box Butte, while drainage systems like Jesse Ewing Canyon feed into the river valley.
