About this map

The high-desert confluence at Colton serves as the focal point for this survey of the rugged highlands where Utah and Carbon counties meet. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Price River and White River, which carve deep drainage systems through prominent terrain features like Joes Ridge and Wide Ridge. The presence of Scofield Reservoir in the southwestern corner highlights the vital water management infrastructure of this arid region.

A network of specialized roads, including Revelation Rd, Salvation Rd, and Church Property Rd, suggests a unique history of land ownership and use in these canyons. These routes navigate the complex topography of Spring Canyon and Woods Canyon, providing access to isolated points like Sawmill Spring and Wing Spring. The map documents a landscape of transition where modern transportation corridors like Us-6 and Ut-96 intersect with older, local tracks following the natural contours of the Beaver Creek and Johnston Creek drainages.
