About this map

Mount Bartles dominates this high-elevation landscape in eastern Utah, serving as a central point for a complex network of drainages and ridgelines. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where Twist Ridge and West Ridge divide deep-cut passages like Timothy Canyon and Cow Canyon. At the southern edge of the sheet, the Grassy Trail Reservoir marks a significant water collection point fed by the Left Fork Whitmore Canyon.

Remote access is traced through narrow corridors such as Cow Canyon Rd and Dancehall Spring Rd, which lead to vital water sources including Dancehall Spring and Hanging Rock Spring. The nomenclature of the area, including the evocative Graveyard Canyon and Hanging Rock Canyon, suggests a rugged history of cattle ranching and early land use. This map provides an essential view of the watershed and topographical features of Carbon County before more modern development altered these remote drainages.
