2023 Map of Pinnacle Canyon

About this map

The Duchesne Co and Carbon Co boundary cuts through this high plateau country, dominated by the imposing Bad Land Cliffs and the drainage of Nine Mile Creek. This 2023 survey illustrates the modern transportation network navigating the complex topography, specifically via Nine Mile Canyon Rd and Franks Canyon Rd, which follow the natural contours of the deep Ninemile Canyon. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, where named features like Horse Bench sit above a labyrinth of seasonal watercourses including Desert Spring Wash and Sand Wash. The map details the intricate relationship between the canyon floor and the high-altitude landmarks such as Pinnacle Canyon and Rock House Canyon, providing essential data for those studying the contemporary geography of this border region.
