About this map

La Barge sits at the southern edge of this western Wyoming landscape, situated where the high desert terrain meets the fertile bottomlands of the Green River. The town's grid, including S Main St and W 6th Ave, marks a concentrated pocket of settlement surrounded by vast mesas and winding canyons. The river corridor is a focal point of the area, crossed by the Whelan Bridge and fed by Birch Cr near the Sublette and Lincoln County line.

The surrounding geography is defined by distinctive landmarks such as Bird Nipple, Red Hill, and the high plateau of Little Mesa. Industrial activity is implied by the presence of Beneficial Oil Rd and Calpet Rd, which snake through the draws and canyons like Figure Four Canyon and Bird Canyon. The intricate contouring of The Spur and The Frog showcases the complex erosional patterns that characterize this portion of the Green River Basin.
