About this map

North Point and Fox Point anchor this high-elevation plateau landscape in Uintah County, where the terrain is defined by a network of deeply incised drainages. The topography is dominated by the complex series of ravines including Firewater Canyon, Burnt Canyon, and Cottonwood Canyon, which reveal the erosional patterns of the eastern Utah desert.

Water sources are scarce but significant landmarks for local history and land use, marked here by Bishop Spring and Judith Spring. These small water points often served as critical stops for livestock and early travel through the Wild Horse Basin. The survey clearly delineates the township and range boundaries for T14S and T15S, providing a technical framework for understanding the Public Land Survey System as it applies to this remote corner of the Uintah Basin.
