About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this Uintah County region, where the rugged terrain of the Uinta Mountains transitions into the high desert basins. High elevation features like Sawtooth Ridge and Ashley Gorge define the drainage patterns that feed into Ashley Creek and its tributaries. The settlement of Dry Fork serves as a local hub, connected by a network of rural routes such as Dry Fork Settlement Rd and Mcconkie Ranch Rd.

Evidence of historical land use and natural resources is visible in named landmarks like Coal Mine Basin and Castle Cove. Numerous water sources, including Charleys Park Spring and June Spring, are scattered across the slopes of Little Mtn and Pine Ridge, highlighting the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. The presence of the Dry Fork Cem along W Cemetery Rd offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in the valley.
