About this map

Desolation Canyon dominates this eastern Utah landscape, where the Green River carves a deep path through the plateau. This 2023 survey identifies a series of named whitewater features that define the river's character, including Bull Canyon Rapids, Moonwater Rapids, and Joe Hutch Canyon Rapids. The terrain is characterized by high-elevation landforms such as Range Valley Mtn and complex drainage systems like Three Canyon and Big Canyon.

The convergence of four county boundaries—Carbon, Emery, Uintah, and Grand—occurs in the northern section of the map, highlighting the geographic isolation and administrative junctions of this wilderness area. Significant vertical landmarks like Red Point and Chandler Falls provide fixed points for navigation in a region defined by steep hollows, including Lion Hollow and Rain Canyon. The presence of Bluebell Creek and Trail Canyon underscores the intricate hydrological network that feeds into the main river channel.
