2011 Map of Buck Camp Canyon

About this map

Bitter Creek Corral stands as a primary point of reference in this high-desert landscape of eastern Utah, where the topography is defined by significant plateau formations and drainage networks. The drainage of Bitter Creek winds through the eastern portion of the map, carving through the terrain near Archy Bench. To the west, the flat expanse of the East Bench provides a distinct geographic contrast to the deep incision of Buck Camp Canyon. Transport in this era relied on a sparse network of unpaved routes, including Bitter Creek Rd and E Bench Rd, which follow the natural contours of the benches and washes. This 2011 survey captures a landscape primarily utilized for ranching and resource access, evidenced by the isolation of the corral and the seasonal character of water features like Sand Wash.
