About this map

Pleasant Valley sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the plateau is carved by an intricate network of desert washes and drainage draws. The region's geography is defined by significant topographical features such as Antelope Canyon and the winding course of Antelope Cr, providing a stark look at the arid corridor south of Myton. The map reveals a specialized infrastructure designed for the remote interior, marked by several industrial and access routes like Buried Line Rd and BLM Fence Rd.

Tracing the southern sections of the quadrangle, researchers will find prominent natural landmarks including Gilsonite Draw and Castle Peak Draw. The prevalence of named bench roads, such as Broken Bench Rd and Pariette Bench Rd, underscores the importance of these elevated plateaus for transit across the complex terrain. The intersection of different township and range lines throughout this 2017 survey highlights the ongoing land management by agencies like the Bureau of Land Management in this part of Duchesne County.
