2014 Map of Nutters Hole

About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through the northwestern corner of this Uintah County landscape, creating secluded pockets like Ranch Bottom and the namesake Nutters Hole. The terrain is defined by dramatic erosion and elevation shifts, ranging from the broad expanse of Wild Horse Bench to the intricate, folded topography known as The Wrinkles. This 2014 survey documents a network of remote access routes, including Sand Wash Rd and Hydes Bottom Rd, which navigate the high plateaus and deep cuts of Kings Canyon and Peter Post Canyon. The map reveals a land structured by drainage patterns, where seasonal flows in Hill Cr and various draws like Alger Draw and Dog Knoll Draw have sculpted the earth. Large-scale features like the Sumner Amphitheater and Alger Pass highlight the geological character of the region, providing a detailed record of this high-desert environment before further modern development or environmental change.
