About this map

Bad Land Cliffs dominate the northern horizon of this landscape where the Duchesne Co Carbon Co line cuts through a complex system of drainages. The most prominent water feature, Nine Mile Cr, flows through the central portion of the quadrangle, flanked by numerous steep-walled side canyons including North Maxie Canyon, South Maxie Canyon, and Pinnacle Canyon. The terrain transitions from these deep incisions to the broad, elevated plateau of Horse Bench in the southeast.

Transportation in this remote corner of Utah is defined by primitive routes such as Sagebrush Flat Rd and Horse Bench Rd, which navigate the mesas between deep cuts like Rock House Canyon and Desbrough Canyon. The map records a classic western rangeland, marked by isolated points of interest like the Rock House Cow Cp, illustrating the area's continued use for livestock grazing amidst its dramatic geological formations.
