About this map

The Flaming Gorge Reservoir dominates this high-desert landscape in southwestern Wyoming, where the Green River was impounded to create a massive water resource and recreation hub. Managed by the Ashley National Forest and the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, the terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like North Chimney Rock and South Chimney Rock overlooking the water.

Logistical infrastructure for early 1990s recreation is well-documented, including the Big Firehole Bridge and the Webster Dugway road, which provides access to the canyon rim. To the east of the reservoir, the Sage Creek Basin reveals a more arid character, marked by seasonal water sources such as Sage Creek and Greasewood Spring, alongside signs of ranching history like the Corral near the park boundary.
