2017 Map of Pinnacle Canyon

About this map

Bad Land Cliffs dominate the northern landscape of this region, dropping into a complex network of deep drainages along the Duchesne and Carbon County line. The terrain is defined by its vertical relief, where high plateau surfaces like Horse Bench give way to the intricate carved paths of Ninemile Canyon and Pinnacle Canyon. Water management and natural drainage patterns are traced through Nine Mile Creek and Desert Spring Wash, which serve as the primary conduits through this arid environment. Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with Nine Mile Canyon Road and Franks Canyon Road providing the only reliable access between the steep canyon walls. This survey captures the isolated character of the Utah backcountry, highlighting landmarks such as the Pinnacle and the secluded Rock House Canyon.
