About this map

Ashley National Forest covers much of this high-elevation terrain in northeast Utah, where the landscape is defined by deep incisions like Black Canyon and Ashley Gorge. The settlement of Dry Fork sits at the base of these heights, serving as a focal point for local history with the Dry Fork Cem nearby. The map reveals a network of canyons and draws, including Shindy Draw and the extensive Twelvemile Wash, which drain the ridges.

Surface water is a vital feature of this arid geography, documented through numerous named points like Charleys Park Spring, Chokecherry Spring, and Beck Spring. Evidence of early industry and resource extraction appears to the south at Coal Mine Basin, while the local ranching legacy is preserved in names like Mcconkie Ranch Rd. The intricate topography of Sawtooth Ridge and Pine Ridge illustrates the challenging environment navigated by early settlers and foresters.
