2011 Map of Pioneer Mesa

About this map

Wolverine Petrified Wood Area characterizes this corner of Garfield County, where geologic history is surface-exposed across a high desert landscape. The terrain is defined by the elevation of Pioneer Mesa and the deep incision of Death Hollow, illustrating the drainage patterns of the region. This 2011 survey documents the hydrological network formed by Wolverine Creek, which winds through the center of the quadrangle, and White Canyon to the north. These features represent a complex topographical environment where drainage systems like North Fork Silver Falls Creek have carved significant relief into the plateau. The lack of named settlements or major infrastructure highlights the area's character as a largely undeveloped natural tract, centered on unique geological preserves and water-carved landmarks.
