About this map

Stevens Cabin sits in the southwestern corner of this drainage basin, representing one of the few named structures in this remote reach of Uintah County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of deep-cut drainages including Chandler Canyon, Big Dogie Canyon, and Short Canyon, which converge to feed the primary watercourses of Chicken Fork and Hill Creek. These seasonal and perennial streams create a rugged relief that terminates at prominent high points such as Chandler Point and the narrow No Mans Land Point.

Hydrological features are central to the geography here, with numerous vital water sources like Moonwater Springs, Chicken Spring, and Post Canyon Spring scattered across the arid terrain. The eastern edge is anchored by the rising elevation of Post Canyon Ridge, which separates the central canyons from the Corral Creek drainage system. This survey captures the topographical complexity of the plateau's edge, where historical land use is marked by isolated landmarks and crucial water points.
