1964 Map of Mount Airy

About this map

The Green River carves a complex, braided path through this high plains landscape of Sublette County, defining the western edge of a region dominated by ranching and emerging energy extraction. Traditional cattle operations such as Grubbing Hoe Ranch, H Bar C Ranch, and Sommers Ranch are positioned near the water's edge, utilizing an intricate network of irrigation including the Green River Supply Canal, Soap Ditch, and Luman Ditch. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Mount Airy and the broad plateau of The Mesa, where the land-use shifts toward resource management as evidenced by Gas Wells and several livestock watering sources like Basin Res and Mesa Res No 1. The presence of the Mount Airy Drift Fence across the high ground illustrates the historic management of open-range grazing in this section of the upper Green River Basin.
