About this map

Green Mountain dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Fremont and Sweetwater Counties, where industrial activity and ranching intersect with a network of high-desert drainages. The Star Mine sits in the lower elevations south of Stratton Rim, a prominent escarpment that defines the southern half of the map. This area serves as a critical watershed, feeding numerous seasonal and perennial flows including Crooks Creek, Lost Soldier Creek, and the intricate forks of East Cottonwood Creek.

Evidence of local land use is visible in the presence of the Hadsell Ranch and a Pipeline cutting across the southern terrain. High-altitude meadows like Little Long Park, Round Park, and East Cottonwood Park are scattered across the mountain's northern slopes, connected by a network of Jeep Trails that penetrate the Owl Hills and deep canyons. The map effectively documents the transition from the high peaks to the expansive flats of Stratton Hollow.
