About this map

Cliff Ridge dominates the northern reaches of this high-desert terrain in Uintah County, where vertical relief is defined by dramatic geological formations. The landscape is characterized by deep erosional features like Bourdette Draw and Kane Hollow, alongside prominent structural landmarks such as The Rim Rock and the sharp linear profile of Snake John Reef.

Evidence of historical ranching and access persists through a network of specialized routes, including Cliff Creek Rd and Pole Line Wash Rd, which navigate the drainages of Cliff Cr and Birch Cr. The mapping of reliable water sources like Davis Spring and distinct navigation points such as First Gap provides a clear record of how the land was traversed and utilized in the early twenty-first century.
