2023 Map of Colton

About this map

Colton serves as the focal point of this high-elevation landscape, situated at the confluence of the White River and the upper reaches of the Price River. The map reveals a remote intersection of water and transport in Carbon County, where numerous family and descriptive road names like Salvation Rd, Revelation Rd, and Jacob's Rd suggest a specific cultural imprint on the land. To the north, Wide Ridge and Joes Ridge define the vertical relief, separated by Woods Canyon. The area is marked by seasonal and perennial water sources including Wing Spring and Sawmill Spring, which feed into the primary river systems. In the south, the topography descends toward Beaver Creek and the drainage of Johnston Creek, illustrating the transition from open ridge lines to deeply incised canyon floors.
