Description
The Greater Green River Basin is vast. Historically, it is revered as the heart of fur trapping county, in the era of the Mountain Men. It also served as a major crossing for migrant travelers headed West. It extends from the Overthrust Belt on the west to the Rawlins Uplift on the east. It is bookended by the Uinta Mountains to the south and the Wind River Mountains to the north. The Rock Springs Uplift lies in the center of this basin.
