About this map

Nine Mile Creek snakes through the heart of this landscape, carving the prominent Nine Mile Canyon as it flows eastward. This drainage system serves as the primary corridor for human activity, with 9 Mile Canyon Rd following the watercourse through the deep canyon floor. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the formidable Bad Land Cliffs, a series of high escarpments that dominate the skyline.

The map reveals a complex network of tributary drainages, including North Franks Canyon, North Maxie Canyon, and Bulls Canyon, which feed into the main valley from the north. To the south, the plateau is marked by Horse Bench, a high flatland accessible via Horse Bench Rd. Other significant geographical features include the deeply cut Pinnacle Canyon and Rock House Canyon, illustrating the erosional power of water in this arid Duchesne County environment.
