2014 Map of Deadman Canyon

About this map

Deadman Canyon and the high country of Whitmore Park define this portion of Carbon County, where the Book Cliffs terrain transitions into the high desert. The landscape is marked by a complex network of ephemeral drainages including Hayes Wash, Alkali Cr, and Bitter Cr, all of which eventually feed into the Soldier Cr system. To the south, the Carbon County Regional Airport occupies the flatter ground near the mouth of the canyons, serving as a modern anchor for the region. Historical land use is evident in the presence of Pitchelows, accessed via Pitchelows Rd near the northern boundary. The rugged topography is traversed by several significant corridors like the Coal-Soldier Creek Cutoff and Straight Cyn, illustrating how the local geography has dictated the path of transportation and development in this remote part of Utah.
