About this map

The Green River snakes through a series of wide riverbanks and alluvial flats in this remote section of Uintah County. These low-lying areas, labeled as "bottoms," indicate a long history of seasonal flooding and sediment deposition that shaped the local geography. Distinct named locations such as Moon Bottom, Snider Bottom, and Hydes Bottom define the navigable path of the water as it winds south past Canyon Bottom and Long Bottom.

Elevated terrain features like Wild Horse Bench and the Antelope Knolls provide a sharp contrast to the riverbed, overlooking the complex drainage systems of Sheep Wash and Desert Spring Wash. The presence of named canyons, including Kings Canyon, suggests a landscape carved by both the perennial river and ephemeral desert flows, offering a detailed look at the topographic character of the Uinta Basin at the start of the 2010s.
