About this map

Book Cliffs dominate the northern landscape of this Grand County quadrangle, where the steep escarpments overlook the wide expanse of Grand Valley. The drainage systems here are complex, with Sulphur Cr and its associated Sulphur Canyon carving deep paths through the high terrain. Further south, Antone Canyon and Buck Canyon create a rugged network of washes, including Antone Wash and Buck Canyon Wash, which channel seasonal water toward the valley floor.

Remote transportation routes like Sulphur Rd and Cottonwood Rd provide the only access through this desolate territory, tracing the natural contours of the land. Historically, water sources such as Cato Springs were vital for any movement through this arid region. The geography transitions from the high, capped peaks of Potato Ridge to the alluvial washes of Cottonwood Wash, illustrating the erosional forces that have shaped this portion of eastern Utah.
