About this map

The Book Cliffs dominate this eastern Utah landscape, forming a massive geological escarpment that dictates the flow of every drainage in the region. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the remote network of canyons and washes that carve through the high plateau, including Antone Canyon and Sulphur Canyon. The area is defined by its deep vertical relief and the critical access points provided by Sulphur Rd and Cottonwood Rd.

Evidence of resource extraction is centered at the Book Cliffs Gas Field on the western edge of the quadrangle. Below the cliffs, the terrain gives way to extensive drainage systems such as Buck Canyon Wash and Long Canyon Wash, which channel seasonal water toward Sulphur Creek. This map is a primary record for geologists and land managers studying the intersection of energy infrastructure and the stark topography of Grand County.
