About this map

The Green River snakes through a complex series of loops and canyons in this high-desert region of Uintah County. This landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Ninemile Canyon and Maverick Canyon, where the river has carved distinct alluvial flats such as Maverick Bottom and Little Horse Bottom. The map provides a detailed look at remote infrastructure, including the Sand Wash Ferry and the nearby Sand Wash Airport, which serve as vital access points in an otherwise arid expanse.

Named river features like Duches Hole, Nutters Hole, and Gold Hole suggest localized landmarks known to river travelers and local ranchers. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Little Desert, while the southern reaches are dominated by the broad plateau of Horse Bench. The confluence of Nine Mile Creek with the Green River further emphasizes the drainage patterns that have shaped this specific part of the Utah backcountry.
