About this map

Minnie Maud Creek winds through the high canyons of eastern Utah, serving as the primary drainage for a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. This 2023 survey documents the boundary where Duchesne Co and Carbon Co meet, a region characterized by its lack of established settlements and its complex network of named geographical features. Notable landmarks like Sorens Cave and the isolated Sky-high Pond provide specific points of interest for those navigating the high ground between Argyle Ridge and Minnie Maud Ridge.

The map reveals an intricate system of canyons including Argyle Canyon, Ninemile Canyon, and Cottonwood Canyon. These natural corridors, along with routes like Twist Trail, suggest a history of high-country land use, likely for livestock grazing or remote resource access. The concentration of family-named features such as Sorenson Draw and Williams Canyon offers valuable clues for genealogical researchers tracing family ties to these specific drainages.
