2023 Map of Deadman Canyon

About this map

Straight Canyon and Deadman Canyon dominate this high-desert landscape in Carbon County, Utah. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages and canyons, including Antone Creek and Coal Creek, which feed into the more level reaches of Hayes Wash and the Gravel Pit Bench. In the southwestern corner, the Carbon County Regional Airport/Buck Davis Field serves as a modern anchor, while the surrounding area remains largely focused on resource extraction and transportation. A complex network of roads, including the Coal Airport Cutoff Rd and Nine Mile Canyon Rd, connects these remote canyons. Genealogists and historians can trace traditional routes like the Soldier Creek Trl or locate landmarks such as Whitmore Park and Andersons Reservoir, illustrating how the geography dictates movement through this corner of the state.
