About this map

Antelope Canyon and the winding course of Antelope Cr define the western reaches of this Duchesne County landscape. The area is characterized by a complex network of utilitarian access routes that follow the natural contours of the high desert benches, including Broken Bench Rd and the Pariette Bench Rd. To the south, the terrain drops into Castle Peak Draw and the distinctively named Jackrabbit Canyon Rd, illustrating the rugged drainage patterns that shape the Uintah Basin. The nomenclature of the road system, such as Buried Line Rd and Gilsonite Draw Rd, provides evidence of the region's industrial and mineral history, specifically the extraction of Gilsonite and the infrastructure required to support remote energy and mining operations. Sparse settlements like Pleasant Valley anchor the northern sections, while Wells Draw marks the eastern boundary of this high-elevation plateau.
