About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through this Wyoming landscape, defining the character of Stevens Flat and the surrounding high plains. By the early 1960s, the area supported a mix of livestock ranching and industrial utility, as seen in the presence of Pal Ranch and Hofeldt Ranch alongside a specialized Chemical Plant. This industrial corridor is further supported by a Substation, Filtration Plant, and Sewage Disposal facilities near the riverbank.

The transportation and resource infrastructure of the era is evident in the path of the Union Pacific railroad and a major Pipeline that traverses the terrain. Significant drainage features like Twentyfive Mile Draw and Water Gap Wash dictate the movement of water toward the river, while landmarks like Monument Hill and The Big Island provide vertical and geographic relief to the broad river valley and the arid stretches of Manns Flat.
