About this map

Winter Ridge and Cherry Mesa dominate this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Uintah and Grand Counties. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainages, most notably Cedar Camp Canyon and Hay Canyon, which reveal a remote environment defined by water sources and resource extraction. Evidence of ranching and early energy development is scattered throughout the region, including the Tomlinson Ranch near Meadow Canyon and several Gas Wells within a designated Gas Field.

Strategic water points like Cedar Camp Spring and Rock Spring provide critical landmarks across the plateau. The map also documents transit and survey markers through various Jeep Trails and Landing Strips, reflecting the logistical challenges of the high plateau country. Features such as Big Asphalt Canyon and Pretty Valley Ridge further highlight the varied geological character of this corner of eastern Utah during the late twentieth century.
