About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this landscape in northeastern Utah, where high-altitude ridges and deep canyons define the transition from the high plateau to the basin floor. The settlement at Dry Fork serves as a focal point for the region's agricultural and pastoral activity, situated near a local Cemetery and the winding course of the creek. The topography is intricately mapped with numerous natural springs, such as June Spring and Chivers Spring, which historically supported livestock and early homesteaders in this arid environment.

Industrial and recreational footprints are evident through features like the Coal Mine Basin in the south and the winding Red Cloud Loop road. Surveyors also noted a Gaging Station and various drill holes, reflecting the area's importance for water management and resource exploration. Prominent landmarks such as Little Mountain and Sawtooth Ridge provide significant orientation points for those studying the 1990s-era land use and natural geography of Uintah County.
