2023 Map of Castle Rock

About this map

Castle Rock serves as the primary focal point of this northern Utah landscape, where the corridor of Echo Creek-Echo Canyon facilitates major transportation routes through the high desert terrain. The drainage patterns of the Summit County backcountry are meticulously documented, featuring numerous seasonal and perennial waterways including Huff Creek, Rees Creek, and Cache Cave Creek. The map details the complex topography of the Wasatch Range foothills, illustrating the deep incisions of Ellis Canyon and Stag Canyon as they descend from prominent heights like Porcupine Ridge. This 2023 survey provides a contemporary view of land use, showing the intersection of modern ranching operations at Aspen Meadow Ranch Rd with the enduring physical geography of the Echo Canyon passage.
