About this map

Ashley National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape in Duchesne County, characterized by a series of deep canyons and prominent ridges. The geography is defined by the sharp transition at the southern edge of the sheet where the Bad Land Cliffs overlook Argyle Canyon. Numerous drainages like Indian Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon cut through the terrain, separated by high ground such as Tabby Ridge and Wild Horse Ridge.

This 1996 revision shows a network of remote access routes and water sources essential for land management and ranching. Features such as the Sowers Canyon Road provide transit through the rugged interior, while vital water points like West Lance Spring and Cripple Creek are clearly marked. The map also records several Drill Hole locations, indicating the mineral or geological exploration efforts that have historically shaped land use in this part of Utah.
