About this map

Tabyago Spring serves as a critical water point in this high-desert landscape of eastern Utah, where deep drainages and flat benches define the topography. The terrain is characterized by complex canyon systems, including Tabyago Canyon and Chimney Canyon, which cut through the elevated surface of Benion Bench. These features illustrate the erosion patterns typical of the Uinta Basin's southern reaches, where seasonal runoff has carved distinct features like Dog Knoll Draw and Green Draw.

Remote and sparsely populated, the area is marked by broad open spaces such as Big Canyon Flat and the wide expanse of the Tabyago Basin. The naming of landmarks like Dog Knoll and Horsecorn Canyon reflects the ranching and geographical history of Uintah County. For researchers, this map provides precise contour data on the various knolls and canyons, including the Cedar Knolls and Cat Canyon, that have dictated movement and land use in this part of the state.
