About this map

The Ashley National Forest dominates this Duchesne County landscape, where complex topography defines the region south of the Left Fork Indian Canyon. The map reveals an intricate drainage system where seasonal watercourses have carved out significant features like Trapper Canyon and Lance Canyon, which flow between the prominent high ground of Cottonwood Ridge and Wild Horse Ridge.

In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain breaks sharply at the Bad Land Cliffs, a significant geological barrier overlooking the headwaters of Argyle Canyon and Garder Canyon. This network of canyons and ridges, including smaller tributaries like Broad Hollow and Corral Hollow, illustrates the high-elevation wilderness character of this part of Utah, preserved for public use and natural resource management.
