2012 Map of Linwood Canyon

About this map

Henrys Fork winds through the high desert of Sweetwater County, forming a vital ribbon of water in this arid landscape near the Wyoming-Utah border. The 2012 topography shows a system of human engineering designed to harness the drainage of the Uinta Mountains, most notably through the Peoples Canal and the Sheep Creek Irrigation Canal. These waterworks parallel the natural flow of Cottonwood Cr and other tributaries, illustrating the legacy of ranching and irrigation in the region. The map highlights distinct geological features like Linwood Canyon and the broad drainage of Franklin Wash. Connectivity in this isolated area is maintained by Washam Rd and State Route 530, which provide access through the open terrain to the various basins and washes that define this part of the Green River watershed.
