About this map

The Green River carves through this portion of Uintah County, defining the western edge of a landscape shaped by intricate drainage systems and high plateaus. In this remote corner of Utah, the river meets named bottomlands like Ranch Bottom and the namesake Nutters Hole, which historically provided essential low-lying access points in an otherwise vertical environment. The terrain rises sharply away from the water toward Wild Horse Bench and the unique geological formations of the Sumner Amphitheater.

A network of specialized roads, including The Wrinkles Rd and Tabyago Canyon Rd, provides passage through deep cuts like Tabyago Canyon and across high points such as Alger Pass. To the east, the map tracks the winding course of Hill Creek, which is fed by numerous ephemeral washes like Dog Knoll Draw and Rock Spring Draw. The complex topography of The Wrinkles and Gray Knolls illustrates the characteristic erosion patterns of the Uinta Basin.
