About this map

Antelope Canyon and the surrounding drainage network of Duchesne County define this portion of the Uinta Basin as it appeared in the early 21st century. The landscape is marked by several prominent geological depressions including Pleasant Valley, Wells Draw, and Castle Peak Draw, which funnel seasonal runoff through the arid terrain. While the area lacks concentrated settlements, the human footprint is visible through a deliberate network of resource and access routes. Industrial and ranching access is facilitated by thoroughfares such as 9 Mile Rd and Antelope Canyon Rd, while the presence of BLM Fence Rd points to the management of public lands. Gilsonite Draw suggests the regional significance of mineral extraction, specifically the unique hydrocarbon gilsonite, which has historically driven development throughout this part of Utah.
