About this map

Green Mtn dominates this high-altitude landscape where the borders of Sweetwater, Fremont, and Carbon counties converge. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by complex hydrologic networks, with drainages like Big Camp Cr, Little Camp Cr, and Coal Cr carving through the slopes. The topography is further marked by significant landforms such as Rawlins Draw and the Red Hills, indicating a region of varied geological exposure and high desert relief.

Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of Grieves Reservoir in the northern reaches. This map illustrates the intersection of several public land survey townships, including t27n r90w and t28n r89w. For researchers, the map provides a contemporary view of historical grazing lands and seasonal watercourses, including Corral Cr and Rabbit Cr, that have supported high-country ranching for generations.
