2023 Map of Cedar Ridge Canyon

About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through the eastern edge of this territory, defining the dramatic geology of Desolation Canyon as it flows past the Flat Canyon Rapids. This landscape is dominated by high plateaus and ancient drainage patterns, including Stephens Mesa and the expansive Indian Springs Mesa. Connectivity in this isolated region is maintained by a network of unpaved tracks such as Cedar Ridge Rd and Horse Bench RD, which navigate the high ground between Cedar Ridge Canyon and Little Cedar Ridge Canyon. The boundary between Carbon and Uintah counties follows the river's course, highlighting the historical use of water features as political demarcations in the high desert. Notable family-named or descriptive landmarks like Lunts Horse Pasture and Sage Brush Flat suggest a history of seasonal grazing and ranching utilization across the high benches.
