Bitter Creek crosses the dry uplands of southwestern Wyoming on its way to the Green River. Its valley lies amid the broad basins and sagebrush country east of the river, where water and seasonal resources were scattered across considerable distances. Shoshone people travelled through the wider Green River country and met other communities to exchange goods. In the 1820s, fur traders began holding mountain rendezvous on the Green and its tributaries, joining older networks of travel and trade.
