2011 Map of Pine Canyon

About this map

Whitmore Park and the deeply incised drainages of the Tavaputs Plateau define this portion of Carbon County. The landscape is marked by a complex network of canyons and high-elevation parks, where Pine Canyon and Dugout Canyon serve as primary conduits for seasonal water and access roads. Human activity is evidenced by a series of utilitarian landmarks, including a Sheep Corral and a specific Drill Pad, reflecting the region's history of ranching and resource extraction. Significant elevation changes are negotiated by The Switchbacks near Sage Pt, while the southern reaches open into Clark Valley. Waterways such as Soldier Creek and Dugout Creek provide the primary drainage for this arid, high-desert environment, carving the distinct geological features that have dictated travel routes like Pace Canyon Rd and 9 Mile Rd.
