Historic Map - Green River, WY - 1875
View of Green River, Wyoming Territory (looking north) / drawn by E.S. Glover.

The city of Green River, Wyoming was incorporated in 1868, a mere 7 years before this map was produced.  Shortly after the formation of the town, the area was selected as the site of the division point for the Union Pacific Railroad.  However, the railroad was unaware that a town already existed there, and moved the division point to nearby Bryan, Wyoming.  Green River saw it's population drop from 2,000 to just 101 residents.  As the city was close to collapse, the Black Fork River dried out due to a drought and the railroad moved the division point back to Green River, saving the town.    Dimensions: 36" x 28"   Item #1W-WY-GR-1875   Shipping Weight: 2 lbs.   PRICE: $34.95
