1996 Map of Currant Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Ashley National Forest and the dramatic escarpment of the Bad Land Cliffs dominate this 1996 revision, which documents the rugged intersection of Duchesne and Carbon counties. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage networks, most notably where Argyle Creek joins Nine Mile Creek in a broad canyon floor. This area reveals the industrial footprint of energy extraction in the high desert, centered on the Stone Cabin Gas Field and several scattered Gas Well and Drill Hole locations. Navigational landmarks like Rye Patch and named drainages such as Harmon Canyon and Prickly Pear Canyon illustrate the complex topography of the West Tavaputs Plateau. These features highlight the dual nature of the land as both a protected natural resource and an active industrial zone for gas production during the late twentieth century.
