About this map

Deep Creek Canyon and the high drainage basins of the Strawberry River define this high-altitude landscape along the western edge of the Uinta Basin. The area is characterized by a complex network of steep drainages and hollows, including Wildcat Canyon and Beaver Canyon, which feed into the larger creek systems. These watercourses were vital for early ranching and livestock operations in the region.

Modern access is provided by primitive routes such as Currant Creek Rd and the Strawberry River Rd, tracing the same corridors used for decades to navigate between the high plateaus and the lower valley floors. The boundary between Wasatch Co and Duchesne Co runs through the eastern portion of the map, marking a transition in jurisdictional oversight for this sparsely populated but hydrologically significant territory.
