2011 Map of Duchesne SW

About this map

Indian Canyon and Cottonwood Ridge dominate this rugged sector of Duchesne County, where high plateaus are deeply incised by a network of drainage corridors. This 2011 survey traces the intricate geography of the Western Uinta Basin, highlighting the vital water sources such as Marshall Springs that sustain life in this arid landscape. The map illustrates a complex topographical pattern where Coyote Canyon, Tabby Canyon, and Sowers Canyon converge, creating a natural labyrinth of ridges and washes. Transportation follows these contours, with Cottonwood Ridge Rd and Sowers Canyon Rd providing access across the high ground and through the canyon floors. Researchers can trace the path of Sowers Creek and identify landmarks like Weeint Hol and Wire Fence Can, which reflect the area's grazing and ranching history.
