About this map

The Green River carves a deep, serpentine path through this 2014 survey of the Uintah and Carbon County borderlands. The landscape is defined by its dramatic riverside topography, featuring numerous alluvial flats and bends such as Boat Bottom, Maverick Bottom, and Little Horse Bottom. This map documents a sparsely populated but geographically significant intersection of high desert and deep canyon systems, including the northern reaches of Desolation Canyon and the winding Ninemile Canyon.

Historically important transit points are noted, most notably the Sand Wash Ferry at Sand Wash, reflecting the long-standing reliance on specific river crossings in this terrain. Roads like W Nine Mile Canyon Rd and Horse Bench Rd provide limited access to the tablelands, while the intricate drainage patterns of Nine-Mile Cr and Tabyago Canyon illustrate the erosive forces that have shaped this portion of the Duches Hole quadrangle over millennia.
