2023 Map of Patmos Head

About this map

Patmos Head rises above a landscape defined by sharp drainage divides and deep canyons in this recent survey of Carbon County. The central Patmos Ridge serves as a primary topographic spine, separating the westward-draining Whitmore Canyon and North Fork Horse Canyon from the Range Creek basin to the east. This area reflects a classic high-desert water network where seasonal flows and remote water sources like Dalton Spring, North Willow Spring, and South Willow Spring are critical landmarks. The map illustrates the complex descent from Cottonwood Ridge in the north down toward the southern canyons, including the curiously named Beef Slide Canyon. This document provides an essential record of the natural corridor between Range Valley Mtn and the western plateau, detailing the winding primitive routes that navigate the steep breaks of Mule Canyon and Trail Canyon.
