About this map

Minnie Maud Creek winds through the high desert canyons of the West Tavaputs Plateau along the Duchesne and Carbon County line. This 2017 study illustrates a landscape defined by sharp topographic relief, where ancient erosion has carved out features like Roan Cliffs and Argyle Ridge. The map details a network of canyons including Garder Canyon, Warren Canyon, and North Corral Canyon, which drain into the central creek valley.

Settlement in this high-elevation terrain is sparse, centered around established locations like Emma Park and the curiously named Orson Bedground. Transportation is restricted to rugged corridors like Minnie Maud Creek Rd and Whitmore Park Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land between Minnie Maud Ridge and the southern parklands of Whitmore Park. The map also identifies several seasonal water sources, such as Antone Cr and Summit Cr, essential for livestock and land management in this environment.
