2011 Map of Lighthouse Canyon

About this map

Range Creek carves a deep path through this portion of Carbon County, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes. The waterway is flanked by numerous side canyons, including Sheep Canyon, Bear Canyon, and Nelson Canyon, which reach toward the high plateau of Range Valley Mountain. Access across this isolated terrain is limited to a few primitive routes such as Range Creek Rd and Range Valley Mountain Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. A notable landmark in the northern reaches is Tim's Hole, situated near the head of Snap Canyon. The map also highlights Cherry Meadow, a rare named clearing in the creek's drainage basin, illustrating the sparse but distinct pockets of topography used for navigation and landmarking in the region.
