About this map

Patmos Head and the surrounding high ridges of the Book Cliffs define this section of Carbon County as recorded in 2017. The landscape is heavily marked by a network of primitive and local roads, including Patmos Ridge Rd and Range Creek Rd, which provide access to the complex system of canyons and plateaus. Notable landmarks such as Patmos Ridge and Range Valley Mtn dictate the drainage patterns for numerous seasonal and perennial water sources like Range Cr and North Willow Spring.

The presence of naming conventions such as Beef Slide Canyon, Pasture Canyon, and Summerhouse Ridge suggests a history of livestock management and seasonal habitation in this high-elevation terrain. This survey provides a clear view of the geographic isolation of the region, where transportation is limited to winding routes like Water Canyon Rd and Number Two Canyon Rd through deep cuts like Cottonwood Canyon.
