2017 Map of Davis Canyon

About this map

Atchee Ridge and the high plateaus of the Utah-Colorado borderland define this landscape, where the high desert is carved by a complex network of seasonal drainages. The map highlights the transition from the Uintah Basin southward, marked by the deep incisions of Dragon Canyon and Dry Burn Canyon. Transportation in this remote corner relies on historic routes such as Atchee Ridge Rd, which follows the high ground between watersheds. The drainage patterns of Evacuation Cr and its tributaries, including Big Bluejay Cr, suggest the erosional forces that have shaped the Book Cliffs region over millennia. For those studying the topography of the Uinta County and Rio Blanco County line, the map provides precise data on landmarks like Displacement Point and the secluded Mud Spring, offering a clear view of the area's physical geography in the early 21st century.
