About this map

Cedar Knolls and the surrounding high-desert terrain of Uintah County are detailed in this modern topographical study. The landscape is defined by a series of dramatic drainages and plateaus, including Benion Bench and the expansive Tabyago Basin. These landforms dictate the passage of seasonal water and movement through the region, as evidenced by the namesake Dog Knoll and the intricate network of canyons such as Chimney Canyon and Cat Canyon.

Reliable water sources in this arid environment are sparse, making the presence of Tabyago Spring a significant landmark for local history and wildlife. The map also records the winding path of Tabyago Canyon and Horsecorn Canyon, illustrating the deep erosion patterns common to this part of the Uinta Basin. This survey serves as a precise record of the public land survey system, clearly demarcating the township and range lines across the rugged basin floors and flats like Big Canyon Flat.
