2010 Map of Blacktail Mountain

About this map

The Duchesne River winds through the heart of this landscape, its path defining the local geography as it flows toward its eventual confluence. To the south, Blacktail Mountain and the prominent Blacktail Ridge dominate the elevation, while Sand Wash carves through the lower slopes. The drainage patterns here are intricate, featuring numerous seasonal hollows such as Wagstaff Hollow and Seep Hollow that funnel toward the primary watercourses. To the northeast, the terrain levels out at Sadies Flat near the banks of Rock Creek. Access across this high-country terrain is provided by local routes like Rock Creek Rd and Rail Creek Rd, which parallel the water and follow the natural contours of the ridges. Distinctive landforms like The Nipple and McAfee Ridge serve as primary landmarks in this undeveloped corner of Duchesne County.
