About this map

Big Pack Mountain and the surrounding high desert plateau dominate this corner of Uintah County, where the landscape is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and broad uplands. The terrain transitions from the elevated Wild Horse Bench in the northwest across several named canyon systems, including Peter Post Canyon and Alger Draw. These features represent the deeply eroded geography characteristic of the Uinta Basin's southern fringes.

Water management and natural drainage patterns are traced through Hill Cr and Willow Cr, which snake through the lower elevations. The map also identifies local landmarks like Johnson Draw and Agency Draw, alongside the Big Pack Mountain Loop road, illustrating how the petroleum and ranching industries have accessed this isolated geography. This survey provides a precise look at the township and range boundaries that partitioned this part of the public domain.
