2010 Map of Green River NE

About this map

Gunnison Valley forms the backdrop for this arid landscape east of Green River, where modern infrastructure follows paths laid down by earlier travelers. The map highlights the sparse settlement of Solitude along the corridor of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, a vital transportation artery in this part of Emery County. Intersecting the terrain is Old Hwy Elgin, a route that predates the modern highway system and reflects the historical movement of goods and people across the high desert. Seasonal drainage patterns are clearly marked by the branching networks of Browns Wash, Solitude Wash, and Little Grand Wash, which define the local topography and historical access to water in an otherwise parched environment. Little Valley Rd provides further evidence of local navigation through the valley's open expanses.
