2014 Map of Jump Creek

About this map

Coal City and Consumers sit at the heart of this landscape, marking the legacy of Carbon County's resource-driven development. The terrain is defined by a dense network of canyons and draws, including Bryner Canyon, Wildcat Canyon, and Coal Canyon, which drain into the N Fork Gordon Cr and Beaver Cr. In the southern reaches, the boundary of the Manti-La Sal National Forest meets localized landmarks like The Elbow and the broad expanses of Cedar Bench and Telephone Bench. This area's utility and habitation are evidenced by numerous access routes such as Castle Valley Ridge Rd and Consumers Rd, alongside rural outposts like Cedar Mesa Ranch and Omans Ranch. The presence of Summerhouse Spring and the intricate naming of nearly every draw and fork suggest a deep, fine-grained familiarity with the land by those who worked these canyon walls.
