2014 Map of Avintaquin Canyon

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Duchesne County, where deep incisions like Avintaquin Canyon and Bumper Canyon define the drainage patterns of the western Uintah Basin. The map captures a high-country ranching economy during the early 21st century, with localized hubs of activity at Remund Ranch, Baum Ranch, and Peatross Ranch along the watercourses. These family-named landmarks are connected by primitive routes like Timber Canyon Rd, which traverses the ridge between Rough Canyon and Lion Hollow. Notable water sources including Sayers Spring and the Strawberry River provide the vital infrastructure for this isolated terrain, while prominent landmarks like Timber Point offer vantage points over the complex network of draws and hollows that feed into Avintaquin Cr.
