About this map

Indian Canyon and the surrounding drainage network of southwestern Duchesne County are depicted here in detail, centered on the complex topography where Cottonwood Ridge separates several prominent drainages. The landscape is defined by its deep canyons and elevated ridges, providing a clear view of the natural corridors used for transportation, including Us-191 which winds through the northwestern corner. Local water resources are represented by the seasonal flows of Sowers Cr and the specifically identified Marshall Springs, illustrating the vital water points in this arid high-desert environment.

The map reveals a system of backcountry access roads such as Sowers Canyon Rd and Cottonwood Ridge Rd, which provide entry into the more secluded areas like Tabby Canyon and Wire Fence Canyon. This documentation of the Public Land Survey System divisions, including Township 4 and 5 South across Ranges 4 and 5 West, is a valuable resource for understanding the rural infrastructure and land management patterns of the Uinta Basin during the early twenty-first century.
