About this map

Ashley National Forest covers the central portion of this landscape, where high ridgelines and deep drainage systems define the geography of Duchesne County. The Strawberry River flows through the northern reaches, accompanied by the Strawberry River Rd and Strawberry Way, while the southern portion is dominated by the namesake Avintaquin Canyon and the winding course of Avintaquin Cr.

Physical landmarks like Timber Point and Long Ridge provide significant orientation points for the area, which is etched with numerous smaller canyons and hollows such as Rough Canyon, Bumper Canyon, and Cow Hollow. The network of forestry roads, including Timber Canyon Rd and Avintaquin Rd, underscores the importance of land management and resource access in this part of the Uinta Basin's fringe. Named features like Wilbur Bench and Sagers Spring offer specific touchpoints for local history and geographic study.
