2011 Map of Lance Canyon

About this map

Lance Canyon and the high desert divides of Duchesne County define this landscape as it appeared in 2011. The area is dominated by an intricate drainage system where seasonal and perennial waters like Sowers Creek and Argyle Creek have carved deep incisions into the plateau. Navigation through this complex terrain relies on the winding paths of Sowers Canyon Rd and Argyle Canyon Rd, which follow the natural contours of the canyon floors. Significant topographical features such as Cottonwood Ridge and Wild Horse Ridge provide the primary structural orientation between the various hollows. For those studying the geography of eastern Utah, the map details numerous named drainages including Deathtrap Canyon, Y Canyon, and Trapper Canyon, illustrating the rugged erosional patterns of the Tavaputs Plateau region.
