2023 Map of Floy Canyon North

About this map

Wagon Road Ridge and Steer Ridge dominate this corner of Grand County, defining a complex network of high plateaus and deep drainage channels. The landscape is marked by numerous water sources critical to the local geography, including Red Spring, Showerbath Spring, and Wilcox Spring. These springs emerge from the steep canyon walls that feed into major systems like Tusher Canyon and Floy Canyon. Distinctive natural landmarks such as the Roan Peaks and the geological depressions known as Nutters Hole and Nine Hole characterize the high-altitude terrain. The naming conventions, from Wild Cow Canyon to Flat Nose George Canyon, reflect a local history tied to ranching and early exploration of these remote Utah corridors. Narrow creek beds like Hill Creek and Pioche Creek wind through the topography, illustrating the erosional forces that have shaped the rugged basins of The Basin and Mormon Ridge.
