1996 Map of Anthro Mountain

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this section of the Uinta Basin, defined by the sharp topographical descent from Anthro Mountain into the labyrinthine drainages of the Bad Land Cliffs. The landscape is etched by a series of deep canyons, including Nutters Canyon, Brundage Canyon, and the sprawling Sowers Canyon. This 1990s revision reveals a land utilized for both resource extraction and livestock management, evidenced by numerous Drill Holes, an Oil Well, and the Cracker Grove settlement. Water remains a critical and scarce resource in this arid environment, marked by isolated points like Mine Hollow Spring and a Gaging Station along the canyon floors. The map also captures the intersection of major survey lines, including the Uintah Special Meridian and the West First Guide Meridian.
