About this map

New Fork River and Willow Creek converge in this high-altitude ranching landscape, where irrigation infrastructure like Jenkins Ditch and Highline Ditch supported the early cattle industry. The settlement of Cora serves as a central point in an area defined by family holdings, notably the Bar Cross Ranch and Binning Ranch. Cultural history is anchored at the southern edge by the Trappers Point Historical Monument, which commemorates the region's importance to the early fur trade and livestock migrations.

To the northeast, the terrain rises into the Bridger National Forest, centered around the glacial waters of Willow Lake. This section of the quadrangle preserves evidence of early inhabitants at Indian Graves and includes modern additions like the Binning Landing Strip. The map illustrates a specialized mountain economy where water management and seasonal grazing define the layout of the land near the Green River.
