2017 Map of Cliff Ridge

About this map

Cliff Ridge dominates this northern Uintah County landscape, forming a massive east-west topographic spine that overlooks a complex system of arid drainages. The area is defined by its deep draws and ridges, including Bourdette Draw and Blind Draw, which feed into larger systems like Cliff Cr and Cow Wash. In the southern half of the quadrangle, the high ground of The Rim Rock provides a natural vantage over First Gap, marking a distinct shift toward the broad expanse of Deadman Bench. This 2017 survey details the essential water infrastructure of this high desert environment, identifying Cow Wash Reservoir and Davis Spring as key points of interest. Long-established transportation routes such as Old Bonanza Hwy and Deadman Bench Rd provide access through the complex terrain of Squaw Ridge and Raven Ridge, where the geological formations of Snake John Reef create a prominent landscape barrier.
