About this map

The Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this Grand County quadrangle, where high ridges and deep canyons define the drainage patterns of the region. A historic Wagon Road follows the height of land between Hill Creek and the eastern canyons, providing a vital north-south transit corridor through the high desert. This road serves as a primary reference point for navigating the network of springs that dot the terrain, including Wilcox Spring, Pioche Spring, and Table Rock Spring.

To the south and west, the terrain breaks into complex canyon systems such as Tusher Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon. Notable landmarks like Nutters Hole and the Roan Peaks suggest a history of localized water access and livestock management in an environment where natural reliable water is scarce. The southern reaches are marked by distinct features like Showerbath Spring and the converging forks of Floy Creek, illustrating the remote and specialized nature of land use in this part of Utah in the early 1990s.
