About this map

Green River expansion is evident in this southern Wyoming survey, where residential streets like Pennsylvania Blvd and California Dr meet the desert landscape. The terrain is defined by the winding path of the Green River, which flows through a series of named riverside flats including Scott Bottom, Whalen Bottom, and Cordwood Bottom. South of the town center, the river feeds into the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, carving through deep breaks such as Slippery Jim Canyon and Little Firehole Canyon within the Ashley National Forest.

The western plateau features the uniquely named Greater Green River Intergalactic Spaceport, a local landmark situated near Airport Rd. Prominent landforms such as Whalen Butte and Flattop Mtn provide vertical relief against the complex network of drainages like Logan Draw and Chicke Springs Draw. This documentation of the area reflects a modern era where suburban growth and recreational wilderness boundaries converge along the historic river corridor.
