1953 Map of Firewater Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Green River carves a dramatic path through the northwest corner of this territory, defining the landscape of Desolation Canyon as it winds past Rock House Bottom and Peters Point. Much of the quadrangle lies within the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation, a high plateau environment deeply incised by drainages such as Firewater Canyon and Tabyago Canyon. Human presence is sparse and concentrated around vital water sources and travel corridors, evidenced by a remote School near Wilcox Canyon and scattered points like Tabyago Spring and Charlie Brown Spring. The terrain transitions from the river's edge to significant heights at Fox Point and North Point, while names like Wild Horse Canyon and Death Canyon reflect the demanding nature of this isolated segment of the Uinta Basin during the mid-century era.
