About this map

Book Cliffs dominate the northern landscape of this Grand County quadrangle, where deep drainages like Antone Canyon and Sulphur Canyon carve into the plateau. The terrain is defined by a series of significant washes and intermittent streams, including Antone Wash, Buck Canyon Wash, and Long Canyon Wash, which channel seasonal water toward the Grand Valley to the south. This network of canyons and washes illustrates the drainage patterns characteristic of the high desert environment east of the Green River.

Industrial activity is evidenced by the Book Cliffs Gas Field located on the western edge of the sheet, highlighting the region's role in energy production. While the area is largely unpopulated, remote water sources like Cato Springs provide critical landmarks for those navigating the backcountry. The map also traces the winding course of Sulphur Cr as it makes its way through the narrow corridors of the cliffs.
