2017 Map of Duchesne SW

About this map

Marshall Springs serves as a lone water source in this high-altitude landscape of Duchesne County, where the terrain is defined by deep drainages and prominent rises. The map reveals a complex network of canyons, including the extensive Indian Canyon and Wire Fence Canyon, which dictate the movement of roads and trails through the region. This 2017 survey shows how modern infrastructure adapts to these natural corridors, with Cottonwood Ridge Rd and Sowers Canyon Rd following the logical paths carved by erosion over millennia. The prominence of features like Cottonwood Ridge and Tabby Canyon underscores a landscape where geography has long influenced land use, from the township-and-range divisions to the named hollows and creeks like Sowers Cr that mark the interior of this high-desert environment.
