About this map

The Green River carves through this remote intersection of Colorado and Utah, winding through Swallow Canyon as it enters the northern reaches of the Uinta Mountains. This 2014 survey documents a rugged landscape defined by the historic Browns Park region, a valley known for its significance in western ranching and outlaw history. The terrain is marked by a complex system of drainage draws and canyons, including Crouse Canyon and Marshall Draw, which channel seasonal water from the high ridges down toward the river basin.

Primitive roads and trails, such as the Beaver Creek Trail and Browns Park Rd, trace the old routes used by early settlers and travelers through this high-desert environment. Notable topographic landmarks like Kings Point and George Draw serve as essential reference points in a territory where the state line between Utah and Colorado and the county boundary between Daggett and Moffat counties split the land.
