2011 Map of Bitter Creek Well

About this map

Bitter Creek Well and the small settlement of Utaline anchor this arid landscape along the Utah-Colorado border. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages, including Winter Camp Draw, San Arroyo Wash, and Bryson Wash, all feeding into the meandering course of Bitter Creek. In the southeast, the geography drops toward the Colorado River at Ruby Canyon, where the river carves through the earth near Knowles Canyon. Transport and recreation are central to the area's modern identity, with the Kokopelli Trl winding through Rabbit Valley. Significant elevation changes are noted at Castle Rocks and across the high expanse of May Flat, illustrating the transition from open flats to deep canyon systems that characterize this borderland region.
