About this map

Flaming Gorge Reservoir dominates the center of this landscape within the Ashley National Forest, where the high desert terrain of Sweetwater County meets the impounded waters of the Green River. The western shore is defined by intricate inlets and drainages such as Twin Buttes Draw, while the eastern side is carved by Wildhorse Draw and the course of Middle Marsh Creek.

Evidence of the region's ranching and recreational infrastructure appears in the network of secondary routes like Anvil Draw Rd and Canyon Rd, which provide access to the water from Wy 530. To the south, the topographical complexity increases at The Glades, illustrating the transition from the reservoir’s edge to the high ridgelines that characterize this portion of the Wyoming-Utah borderlands.
