2015 Map of Linwood Canyon

About this map

The waters of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir fill the southeastern corner of this terrain, marking a significant hydrological feature within the Ashley National Forest. This high-desert landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, where Henrys Fork is fed by various tributaries including Franklin Wash, Cottonwood Cr, and Anvil Wash. The presence of the Peoples Canal and Sheep Cr Irrigation Canal indicates the critical role of water management in this arid Sweetwater County region. Transportation through the area is facilitated by Washam Rd and the Lucerne Valley Recreation Rd, which provide access to the topographic namesake Linwood Canyon. The map reveals a transition between managed forest lands and the rugged natural washes that carve through the northern plains.
