About this map

Green Mountain dominates the high-altitude landscape of central Wyoming, rising above a network of creek drainages and high meadows during the early 1960s. The northern reaches are characterized by timbered slopes and isolated openings like Little Long Park, Round Park, and the quadrangle's namesake Sagebrush Park. Drainage systems like West Cottonwood Creek and Spring Creek flow northward toward the Owl Hills, while the southern half of the map reveals a shift toward drier, broken terrain marked by Stratton Rim and Stratton Hollow.

Human presence is sparse but concentrated at the Hadsell Ranch along Crooks Creek, providing a focal point for researchers interested in mid-century ranching operations. The economy of the era is evidenced by a Mine located near Whiskey Ridge and a major Pipeline cutting through the southwestern corner. The map also delineates the high-desert border between Fremont and Sweetwater Counties, where seasonal waterways such as Lost Creek and Daniel Creek carve through the foothills.
