2011 Map of Clay Basin

About this map

Browns Park and the meandering Green River define this corner of Daggett County, where the high desert terrain transitions from the Tepee Mountains in the north to the river bottomlands in the south. The area is marked by a network of seasonal camps and recreational facilities, including Clay Basin Camp and the Indian Crossing Campground. These sites reflect the modern land use of the region, anchored by the Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge Dam. Access is provided by historical routes like Browns Park Rd and Clay Basin Rd, which navigate the draws and canyons like Jesse Ewing Canyon and Whisky Springs Draw. Significant landmarks like Band Box Butte and Two Horse Butte rise above the drainage of Red Creek and Clay Basin Creek, illustrating a landscape shaped by both water and wind. The presence of Mountain Home and the Taylor Flat Bridge indicates the dispersed settlement patterns common to this isolated stretch of the Utah-Wyoming border region.
