About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through this corner of Moffat County, defining the alluvial landscape of Browns Park. The river’s course is marked by a series of named bottomlands that suggest a history of riparian land use, including Harry Hoy Bottom, Nelson Bottom, and Allen Bottom. These fertile stretches are framed by the higher elevations of Diamond Mountain and dissected by numerous drainage features such as Spitzie Draw and Yellow Jacket Draw.

Settlement evidence is concentrated along the river corridor and the intersection of local routes like County Rd 114. Notable landmarks for local history include the Lodore School and the Two Bar Ranch, while the legacy of more recent exploration is visible in the Airborne Anomaly 56-9 Mine and Airborne Anomaly 56-10 Mine. The confluence where Vermillion Creek meets the river near the Wilson Place further highlights the area’s reliance on its limited water sources, including Hog Lake and Hoy Spring.
