About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the Old Indian Treaty Boundary carves a diagonal line across a complex system of drainages. The area is defined by its industrial prospecting, evidenced by numerous drill holes and a Prospect scattered throughout the northern canyons. One notable landmark is the Gilsonite label within Gilsonite Draw, referencing the rare hydrocarbon vein that historically fueled mining in the Uintah Basin. The terrain drops off sharply in the south toward the Bad Land Cliffs, a significant geological barrier. A network of jeep trails provides the only access through deep-cut features like Antelope Canyon and Brundage Canyon, illustrating the remote and specialized nature of resource extraction and land management in Duchesne County during the late 1960s.
