1996 Map of Anthro Mountain NE

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape in Duchesne County, where deep canyons drain toward the north. The drainage system is defined by the convergence of Left Fork Antelope Canyon and Right Fork Antelope Canyon, forming the primary Antelope Canyon corridor. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward the Bad Land Cliffs, a significant geological barrier. The 1996 survey data reveals a landscape primarily managed for natural resources and conservation, though scattered industrial activity is evident. Scattered markers for an Oil Well and several Drill Hole locations, particularly near Gilsonite Draw and Alkali Canyon, indicate energy exploration within the forest boundaries. The map also records early prospecting efforts with a Prospect label, highlighting the region's long-standing connection to mineral and fuel extraction amid its complex canyon topography.
