About this map

The Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, where the high plateaus of Carbon County are carved by a complex network of drainages. Perennial and intermittent waters like Jump Cr, Beaver Cr, and the N Fork Gordon Cr have etched deep recesses into the terrain, creating named features such as Miller Canyon and Wildcat Canyon. The topography is defined by prominent high points and flats, including the summit of Pete's Top and the broad expanses of Cedar Bench and Telephone Bench.

Industrial and transit history is evidenced by the names of the thoroughfares and canyons. Consumers Rd and Benches Rd navigate the lower elevations near Coal Canyon, reflecting the region's historical ties to resource extraction. In the higher elevations, more primitive routes such as Big Rocks Trl and the Trail To Bob Wright provide access to remote areas like Bob Wright Canyon and Summerhouse Spring.
