2020 Map of Anthro Mountain

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this landscape in southern Duchesne County, where high plateaus and deep drainage networks create a complex system of hollows and canyons. Central to the area is Anthro Mountain, a massive feature surrounded by numerous named drainages such as Sowers Canyon and Wire Fence Canyon. The southern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the sharp drop-offs of the Bad Land Cliffs, overlooking Wood Canyon. Access is provided by routes like Sowers Canyon Rd and the long, winding Brundage Ridge-Wire Fence Cyn. Water sources are few and specific in this arid terrain, marked by vital points like Mine Hollow Spring and Nutters Spring. The topography reveals a land managed for its natural resources and rugged isolation, characterized by intricate erosion patterns and varied elevations.
