About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this landscape in the western Uintah Basin, defined by a complex network of high ridges and deep drainages. The topography is anchored by the prominent Anthro Mountain, where several high-altitude trails such as Anthro Mtn 1 Trl and Anthro Mtn 3 Trl converge. To the south, the terrain drops sharply at the Bad Land Cliffs, a significant geological transition point overlooking Alkali Canyon and Chokecherry Canyon.

Water sources are vital in this arid upland, marked by isolated points like Mine Hollow Spring and Nutters Spring. Human access is primarily facilitated by the Sowers Canyon Rd, which follows the path of Sowers Creek through the north-central portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a land utilized for transit and forestry, where named hollows like North Lost Hollow and Clem Hollow provided natural corridors through the steep relief of Duchesne County.
