About this map

Big Pack Mtn stands as the central landmark in this high-desert region of Uintah County, where the landscape is defined by deep drainages and flat-topped mesas. The terrain is divided by a series of significant canyons and draws, including Peter Post Canyon to the northwest and the winding paths of Alger Draw and Johnson Draw. These natural corridors channel seasonal runoff toward larger water bodies like Hill Creek and Willow Creek, which frame the eastern and western edges of the sheet.

Evidence of the region's topography is found in the broad expanse of Wild Horse Bench, a prominent plateau in the north. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents a landscape primarily shaped by its hydrology and relief, from the sharp descent of Agency Draw to the high elevations of the central mountain, showing the area as it exists today before further modern development or environmental change.
