2023 Map of Crow Knoll

About this map

Uinta Basin terrain dominates this 2023 survey along the border of Duchesne and Uintah counties. The landscape is defined by a series of arid drainage systems and distinct geographic markers such as Crow Knoll and the Sheep Knolls. These features, along with Flu Knolls and Antelope Knolls, provide vertical relief across the expansive Eightmile Flat and the area known as the Little Desert. Transport through this remote section of Utah is limited to a network of unpaved routes, including Eight Mile Flat Rd, Big Wash Rd, and Felter Ranch Rd. The map illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the high desert, where seasonal waterways like Big Wash, Petes Wash, and Desert Spring Wash have carved through the basin floor. This modern record is an essential tool for understanding the topography of the region's ranching lands and natural basins.
