2017 Map of Anthro Mountain

About this map

Anthro Mountain dominates the southern reaches of this Duchesne County landscape, marking a significant vertical transition within the Ashley National Forest. This high-altitude terrain is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, where Sowers Cr flows through the northern canyons and seasonal sources like Mine Hollow Spring and Nutters Spring provided critical water in an arid environment. The map captures the dramatic topography of the Bad Land Cliffs and the narrow passage known as The Squeeze, illustrating the natural barriers that shaped movement through the region. Historical access is traced through primitive routes such as Sowers Canyon Rd and Quitchampau, which navigate between prominent landforms like Brundage Canyon and Wolf Hollow. The concentration of named hollows, including North Lost Hollow and South Twin Hollow, reflects a detailed vernacular geography used by early ranchers and forest rangers to navigate these high plateaus.
