About this map

The Green Wild and Scenic River carves deep, dramatic loops through the high desert of Grand County, forming the centerpiece of this contemporary topographic survey. The river's path is marked by a series of significant alluvial bends and river-level flats such as Bull Bottom, Junes Bottom, and Tenmile Bottom, which provide rare accessible terrain within the winding Labyrinth Canyon. These features have historically served as critical landmarks for river travelers and ranching operations in this isolated portion of Utah.

Overland travel is documented via a network of primitive tracks and trails, including the Dead Cow Trl and the route from Ten-Mile Wash to Ruby Ranch. Elevated landmarks like Tenmile Point and Keg Point overlook the canyon floor, while smaller drainage systems such as Hey Joe Canyon and Three Canyon cut through the surrounding plateaus. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Emery and Grand counties as it follows the meandering course of the river.
