About this map

The West Tavaputs Plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where a complex network of ridges and deep drainage canyons defines the terrain. Prominent landmarks such as Horse Ridge and South Ridge provide natural vantage points above the deep recesses of Cottonwood Canyon and South Patterfore Canyon. The area is notably characterized by its dispersed water sources, including Tidwell Spring, Daddy Spring, and Quitchupah Spring, which historically supported movement through these reaches.

Bruin Point stands as a focal landmark overlooking the intersection of several remote access routes like Patmos Ridge Rd and Range Valley Mountain Rd. The drainage patterns of Stone Cabin Creek and Range Creek illustrate the erosion-carved topography of the plateau. This 2023 survey documents the modern state of these high-country roads and natural features, essential for those tracing land use and topography in this part of the state.
