2020 Map of P R Spring

About this map

Seep Ridge and Monument Ridge define the high country along the northern edge of this high-desert landscape on the border of Uintah and Grand Counties. The area is characterized by a series of long, finger-like plateaus such as Horse Ridge and Pope Well Ridge that terminate in dramatic overlooks like Mexico Point and Split Point. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote topography of the Book Cliffs region, where deep drainages like Main Canyon and Black Horse Canyon carve through the sedimentary layers. A sparse network of unpaved tracks, including Bookcliff Ridge Rd and Fence Canyon Rd, provides the only access through this dissected terrain, following the natural contours of the ridges to avoid the steep drops into the surrounding canyon system.
