2017 Map of Pine Canyon

About this map

Whitmore Park anchors the high northwestern terrain of this Carbon County landscape, where deep drainage systems carve through the plateau. The complex topography is defined by the massive canyon networks of Ninemile Canyon and Dugout Canyon, illustrating the erosional patterns typical of this part of Utah. Transportation in the area relies on a specialized network of routes such as The Switchbacks and Fish Creek Jeep, which navigate the steep elevation changes between the high ridges and the lower Clark Valley. Riparian corridors including Nine Mile Cr, Soldier Cr, and Dugout Cr provide the primary water sources in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a transition from high-elevation parks and ridges like Pole Canyon Ridge down into the narrow, winding floors of Pace Canyon and Rock Canyon, revealing the isolation and logistical challenges of the high desert backcountry.
