2020 Map of Blacktail Mountain

About this map

The Duchesne River carves a deep path through this portion of the Uinta Valley, where the watercourse acts as a primary geographical anchor. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward McAfee Ridge and the prominent landmark known as The Nipple, while the southern reaches are dominated by the high elevations of Blacktail Mtn and its associated Blacktail Ridge. The map documents a landscape defined by significant drainage features and traditional access routes, including Rock Creek Rd and Rail Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. Small-scale topographical details such as Sadies Flat and Sand Wash offer specific points of interest for researchers studying the land-use patterns and historical hydrology of Duchesne County.
