About this map

The Green River cuts across the far northwestern corner of this high-desert landscape in Sweetwater County, providing a singular water source in a region defined by complex drainage systems and relief. Moving south and east, the terrain is shaped by significant geological features like Bird Canyon and Steed Canyon, which serve as natural landmarks within the expansive basin. This 2017 survey reflects the remote and administrative character of the modern West, where the landscape is segmented by significant jurisdictional boundaries including the convergence of Lincoln, Sublette, and Sweetwater counties.

Transportation in this area is primarily restricted to a network of rural and utility routes, including BLM Rd 4203, BLM Rd 4202, and Steed Rd. The presence of Co Line Rd highlights the importance of surveyed township lines in navigating this open country. This map is particularly useful for understanding the intersection of topographic landforms and public land management at the start of the 21st century.
