About this map

Ashley National Forest and the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation dominate this high-elevation landscape, where the jagged line of the Old Indian Treaty Boundary marks a historical division across the terrain. The area is defined by massive topographic features like Horse Ridge, Little Horse Ridge, and Fossil Ridge, which funnel seasonal drainage into deep corridors such as Avintaquin Canyon and Wilbur Canyon.

A network of springs provides vital water sources for the region, with names like Wild Horse Spring, Sick Cow Spring, and Trail Ridge Spring suggesting the land's utility for livestock and wildlife. Near the southern edge, the Avintaquin Campground sits along the South Fork Avintaquin Creek, offering one of the few developed points in a landscape otherwise navigated by a Pack Trail and a Jeep Trail. The county line between Utah and Duchesne counties is also documented, bisecting the canyons and ridges.
