2020 Map of Green River NE

About this map

The Gunnison Valley and the northern reaches of the Mancos Desert W dominate this landscape northeast of Green River. The map documents a significant intersection of desert transit and Cold War history, notably marking the location of a Missile Base situated between Little Valley Rd and the Old Hwy 6 & 50 corridor. This area reflects a mid-century infrastructure layer superimposed over the natural drainages of the Solitude Wash and Salt Wash N. The settlement at Solitude sits near the Emery and Grand County line, highlighting how jurisdictional boundaries and early highway routes defined the sparse settlement patterns in this part of the Utah desert. Smaller features like Horse Canyon and the Little Grand Wash further illustrate the complex erosional topography of the region.
