About this map

Ashley National Forest covers the majority of this high-altitude terrain where the boundaries of Duchesne Co and Utah Co meet. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent north-south ridges, including Fossil Ridge, Horse Ridge, and Tub Ridge, which separate deep drainages like Avintaquin Canyon and Reserve Canyon. At the heart of the sheet, Gray Head Peak stands as a primary landmark overlooking the complex network of spring-fed draws that characterize this part of the Uinta Basin's southern rim.

Evidence of modern land use for recreation and resource management is visible in the network of unpaved routes, such as Reservation Ridge Rd and the Badlands Atv Trl. The abundance of named water sources like Olsen Spring, Red Cedar Spring, and Twin Ponds underscores the importance of reliable water in this high desert environment, likely serving as critical points for both local wildlife and historic livestock grazing operations.
