2014 Map of Jessen Butte

About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this terrain where the Wyoming and Utah borders meet. The geography is defined by complex water management and high-elevation landforms, including the prominent Jessen Butte and the deep incisions of Sols Canyon. Agricultural and conservation interests are evident through the extensive reach of the S Valley Canal and Lodgepole Canal, which draw from local waterways like Lodgepole Creek and Sheep Creek. The presence of the Sheep Creek Canyon Geological Area highlights the unique stratigraphy of the region, while the lonely site of Dowds Grave offers a specific point of interest for those tracing local frontier history. Further south, recreational and irrigation resources such as Long Park Reservoir and Sheep Creek Lake sit amidst high parks like Half Moon Park, illustrating a landscape utilized for both resource extraction and public land management at the start of the twenty-first century.
