1966 Map of Burnt Timber Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Boulevard Ridge and Atchee Ridge dominate this portion of Uintah County, Utah, where a complex network of high ridges and deep canyons defines the landscape. The drainage system is anchored by Bitter Creek and its many tributaries, including Center Fork Asphalt Wash and Burnt Timber Canyon. This mid-1960s survey reveals a largely unpopulated territory utilized for its natural resources and remote accessibility, evidenced by a solitary Drill Hole and an isolated Landing Strip on the high ground near Flat Rock Spring. The topography is etched with numerous named canyons such as Nelson Canyon, Buck Canyon, and Zane Canyon, alongside family-named landmarks like Brewer Ridge and Anderson Canyon. These features illustrate the area's history of mineral exploration and ranching, where reliable water sources like Indian Spring were critical for survival in the arid high-plateau environment.
