About this map

Ashley National Forest dominates the high-elevation landscape of this Duchesne County region, where intricate canyon systems carve into the northern edge of the Tavaputs Plateau. Significant vertical relief is marked by the Bad Land Cliffs in the south, overlooking Argyle Canyon and Jenson Canyon. The drainage patterns are defined by several perennial and intermittent streams, including Sowers Cr and Argyle Cr, which have etched deep corridors like Trapper Canyon and Lance Canyon.

Transportation through this difficult terrain is limited to established routes such as Us HWY 191 in the northwest and unpaved access ways like Sowers Canyon Rd and Argyle Canyon Rd. Named ridges including Cottonwood Ridge and Wild Horse Ridge provide the primary high ground between the hollows. The lack of concentrated settlements highlights the area's character as a managed wilderness and resource zone within the larger national forest boundary.
