2011 Map of Chandler Falls

About this map

Green River meanders through the deep gorge of Desolation Canyon in this section of Uintah County, Utah. The river is the primary navigational feature, punctuated by the namesake Chandler Falls and joined by several tributaries including Bluebell Creek, Joe Hutch Creek, and Florence Creek. The McPherson Ranch stands as the only named settlement or major landholding within the rugged topography, indicating the sparse human footprint in this part of the state. The landscape is defined by a dense network of drainage systems such as Joe Hatch Canyon, Big Canyon, and Three Canyon, all converging toward the river corridor. Prominent landmarks like Red Point and Lion Hollow further characterize the dramatic elevation changes and erosion patterns of the canyonlands.
