About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through the northern reaches of the Uinta Mountains, defining the landscape of this high-altitude border region. This 2023 survey illustrates the rugged transition where the river flows through Swallow Canyon before opening into the broad valley of Browns Park. The map documents the extensive Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge, which spans the river corridor across the Utah and Colorado state line.

Surface drainage is marked by a complex network of seasonal draws and creeks, including Crouse Creek and Willow Creek, which feed into the main river channel. The presence of Kings Point and the deep incision of Crouse Canyon highlight the dramatic vertical relief of the terrain. Remote access is provided by unpaved routes like Browns Park Rd and Crouse Canyon Rd, tracing historical paths through these mountain basins and high-desert draws.
