About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Duchesne County, characterized by a complex network of deep drainages and ridges. The topography is defined by the massive Bad Land Cliffs to the south, which overlook the winding Argyle Canyon and Argyle Ridge. The map details a transition from the high forest plateaus down into these significant canyon systems, where water sources like Moon Creek and numerous unnamed springs dictated the movement of early travelers and livestock.

Evidence of resource exploration is marked by a Drill Hole in the northern reaches, while the presence of a Corral near the southern canyons points to the area's history of high-country ranching. The Twelvemile Trail follows the high ground between Lake Fork Canyon and the Right Fork Indian Canyon, tracing a route through a terrain of named draws and hollows such as Bills Draw and Sterling Hollow.
