1966 Map of Davis Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Atchee Ridge and Rector Ridge dominate this section of the Book Cliffs region along the Utah-Colorado border. This 1966 field-checked map illustrates a landscape shaped by significant drainage systems, including Evacuation Creek and Whiskey Creek, which carve deep canyons such as Dragon Canyon and Atchee Canyon. The terrain is marked by remote geological features like Displacement Point and isolated water sources including Mud Spring. Evidence of the region's natural resources and rugged character appears in labels for an Oil Seep and numerous networks of Jeep Trails that provided the only access through the high ridges. The map captures the meeting of Uintah, Rio Blanco, and Garfield counties, showing a period when this borderland was primarily defined by its topographic extremes and nascent resource exploration.
