About this map

Diamond Mountain Plateau dominates the northern reaches of this Uintah County landscape, where the high tableland gives way to a complex system of drainages and ridges. Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, evidenced by scattered improvements like Box Reservoir and Shiner Reservoir, alongside natural points such as Switchback Spring and Coal Bed Spring. The terrain is defined by its verticality, falling from the heights of Diamond Mtn through deep incisions like Chicken Coop Draw and Blair Draw.

Movement through this corner of Utah is dictated by the landforms, with Diamond Rim Rd skirting the plateau edge while Jensen Ridge Rd follows the prominent spine of Jensen Ridge. To the south, the topography transitions at a striking geologic feature known as The Reef, which overlooks the lower elevations of South Fork Jensen Wash. This map captures a landscape shaped by ranching and resource management, where named sites like Bear Wallow reflect the local wildlife and geography.
