About this map

The confluence of the Green River and the New Fork River defines this high-desert landscape in Sublette County. This 2015 topographic survey documents a region where river hydrology meets dramatic geological formations, such as the prominent Ross Butte and the extensive Ross Ridge. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages including Alkali Cr and Granite Wash, which cut through the arid plains.

Modern access and land use are traced through a network of rural roads and Bureau of Land Management routes, including Buffalo Jump Rd and Chapel Rd. Notable elevations like The Mesa and Bray Draw provide a clear view of the natural corridors used for travel and ranching. The map serves as a contemporary record of the Wyoming interior, documenting how named features like North Alkali Draw continue to shape the local geography.
