2014 Map of Nebo Basin

About this map

Uinta National Forest lands dominate this part of the Wasatch Range, where the high-altitude terrain is carved by complex drainages like Santaquin Canyon and Black Canyon. The area is characterized by dramatic topographic features such as North Peak and the geological amphitheater known as Devils Kitchen. Local history and recreation are centered around the canyon access points, with sites like Cottonwood Campground and Bear Canyon Picnic Area providing base points for exploring the surrounding ridges. Diverse hydrological systems flow through these heights, including Salt Creek and the Left Fork Slab Creek, which define the deep ravines between Evans Ridge and Bear Trap Ridge. The map illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by natural watercourses and the management of public forest lands along the intersection of Utah, Juab, and Sanpete counties.
