About this map

The Green River flows through a high-altitude desert landscape in Sweetwater County, creating a central corridor for transport and settlement. Small communities like James Town and Riovista are situated along the riverbanks, while the historic namesake settlement of Peru sits further west near the Peru Cutoff Rd. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, noted by features such as Greasewood Canyon, Telephone Canyon, and the distinctive Fish Cut.

Infrastructure here is largely shaped by the natural terrain, with Overland Blvd following the higher ground north of the river. Seasonal drainage patterns are evident through Alkali Cr and Milk Ranch Wash, which cut through the arid plateaus toward the main river channel. This 2015 record captures the industrial and residential footprint surrounding the larger city of Green River as it extends into the surrounding high country.
