1963 Map of Mc Cullen Bluff

About this map

The Green River carves a striking path through the high desert of Sweetwater County, creating a riparian corridor within the Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge. The map captures the river's dramatic meander at Horseshoe Bend, where the water is flanked by the steep elevations of Mc Cullen Bluff to the north and the expansive Dodge Rim to the south. This area serves as a critical junction of natural hydrology and early agricultural infrastructure, as seen in the Hamp Ditch No 1, which diverted water from the main stem to support local needs. Transport through this arid landscape is defined by the Farson Cutoff Road and various interconnected trails, while seasonal drainages like Fourmile Gulch and Shute Creek highlight the drainage patterns that have shaped the surrounding plateaus.
