2011 Map of Black Knolls

About this map

Black Knolls anchors this 2011 survey of a remote and arid drainage basin in Uintah County, where the topography is defined by a series of north-to-south ridges and deeply cut canyons. The primary corridor through this landscape is the Sego Canyon Rd, which traverses the terrain alongside several major gulches. Local water sources are sparse but critical, represented here by Goat Spring and seasonal drainages like Hill Creek and Willow Creek. The map documents a complex network of physical features, from the prominence of Steer Ridge and Picket Corral Ridge to the narrow confines of Upper Wagon Canyon and Billie Brown Canyon. This layout provides an intricate view of the canyon-and-plateau geography prior to modern infrastructure development in this part of eastern Utah.
