About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates the northwestern portion of this Duchesne County landscape, where higher elevations give way to a complex network of canyons and draws. The terrain is defined by dramatic vertical features such as Washs Nipple and Tower Ridge, while water management is evident through the Cedar View Reservoir and several named springs like Dry Gulch Spring Number 3. The Uinta River cuts through the northeast corner, crossed by the Clover Creek Bridge, signaling the transition from mountain wilderness to more navigable territory.

Evidence of ranching and early travel is visible in the naming of remote locales like John Starr Flat and Jefferson Park. The drainage systems, including Cottonwood Cr and Spring Br Cr, dictate the layout of local infrastructure, notably seen where Lower Dry Gulch Bridge carries Ute 7 Rd across the rugged Dry Gulch area. This survey documents the intersection of protected forest lands and tribal routes like Bia Rd 10.
