2017 Map of Deadman Canyon

About this map

Carbon County Regional Airport/Buck Davis Field serves as a modern landmark in this high-elevation landscape of the northern Colorado Plateau. The terrain is defined by a series of south-draining watercourses, including Deadman Cr, Coal Cr, and Bitter Cr, which have carved significant features like Deadman Canyon and Straight Canyon. This 2017 survey reveals a sophisticated network of industrial and utility roads, such as Coal Airport Cutoff Rd and Compressor Rd, illustrating the intersection of transportation infrastructure and energy development in the region. To the east, the drainage of Soldier Cr and the presence of Andersons Reservoir highlight the critical management of water in this arid environment. Significant mountain thoroughfares, including the Nine Mile Canyon Rd and Antone Creek Rd, provide access through the complex topography of Whitmore Park and the surrounding canyon systems.
