2014 Map of Big Pack Mountain

About this map

Big Pack Mtn and Little Pack Mtn anchor this high-desert landscape in the Uintah Basin, where deeply incised canyons and dry washes dictate the movement of both water and travel. The topography is defined by the broad expanse of Wild Horse Bench in the northwest, a prominent plateau overlooking the winding drainage of Hill Cr. This stream, along with Willow Cr to the east, creates a network of steep-walled corridors like Peter Post Canyon and Broome Canyon. The human presence is light and primarily infrastructural, centered on the Hill Creek Rd and the Big Pack Mountain Loop which navigate the ridgelines. The transition from canyon floors to mountain summits reflects the characteristic basin-and-range geology of eastern Utah, showing a region where access is governed by the physical constraints of named draws such as Alger Draw and Agency Draw.
