About this map

Dry Fork serves as the focal point for this 2011 survey, where the settlement and its namesake waterway meet at the intersection of several mountain roads. The landscape is defined by its network of springs and canyons, with Black Canyon and Ashley Creek marking the northeast corner. This area demonstrates a deep-rooted geographic history, evidenced by the many family and descriptive names attached to the terrain, such as Charleys Park, Alma Taylor Hollow, and Castle Cove.

Modern access is shown through routes like Dry Fork Canyon Rd and Little Mountain Rim Rd, which lead to high-elevation points like the Little Mountain Overlook. For genealogists and local historians, the Dry Fork Cemetery remains a significant landmark near the center of the community. The map also detail various water sources, from the isolated Mud Spring in the north to Chivers Spring and Shindy Spring further south, illustrating the vital role of water management in this arid Utah environment.
