About this map

Minnie Maud Creek winds through this high-altitude landscape along the border of Duchesne Co and Carbon Co. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes where the Roan Cliffs rise above the basin floor, separating expansive plateaus like Emma Park and Whitmore Park. These namesake parks and meadows, such as Brook Meadow, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and high-country ranching in this part of the Uinta Basin.

Remote outposts like Orson Bedground further indicate the area's legacy as rangeland. The map detail highlights an intricate network of drainage systems including Pole Canyon, Warren Canyon, and Maynard Canyon, which cut through the primary divides of Argyle Ridge and Minnie Maud Ridge. Access into these drainages is provided by unpaved routes like Whitmore Park Rd and S Corral Canyon Rd, tracing the paths used by local land managers and ranchers for decades.
