About this map

Cottonwood Ridge dominates this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a divide between the drainages of Cottonwood Canyon and the massive Sowers Canyon system. The terrain is defined by a dense network of branching canyons, including Brundage Canyon and Nutters Canyon, which feed into the valley of Sowers Creek. This era of exploration is marked by the presence of an Oil Well located near the canyon floor, suggesting the early industrial footprint in this part of the Uinta Basin.

Water management and natural drainage are central to the geography here, with Antelope Creek winding through Antelope Canyon on the eastern edge of the sheet. The map also traces a Jeep Trail through Coyote Canyon, providing a look at the limited transportation network used for resource extraction and land management. The split of Right Fork and Left Fork at the southern end further illustrates the complex watershed that characterizes this section of Utah.
