1988 Map of Green River SE

About this map

The confluence of the San Rafael River and the Green River defines the landscape of this southeastern Utah region during the late 1980s. Following the border between Grand Co and Emery Co, the terrain is marked by a network of drainage systems including Salt Wash, White Wash, and Red Wash. Human activity is concentrated around Ruby Ranch, which stands as the primary named settlement in this arid environment. Industrial exploration is evident through scattered infrastructure, including an Oil Well and several Tanks. The presence of a Mine near the riverbanks and a Quarry further inland suggests a reliance on natural resource extraction. This provisional survey captures the transition of the desert landscape just before modern digital mapping, preserving the locations of remote outposts and infrastructure in a period of ongoing mineral and ranching activity.
