About this map

Ashley Valley defines the northern landscape of this region, where the community of Jensen sits at the intersection of Old US Hwy 40 and 6000 S St. The geography is dominated by the winding course of the Green River, which carves through the terrain to form the prominent Horseshoe Bend. Along the river’s northern banks, the landing site of Alhandra Ferry Rd hints at earlier river-crossing points that predated modern bridges.

South of the valley, the land rises into the distinctive Asphalt Ridge, a geological formation that gives way to a network of drainage systems including Rasmussen Hollow and Walker Hollow. Aviation history in the area is marked by Sundog Airport near the confluence where Ashley Creek meets the river plain. The map reveals a transition from the agricultural settlements in the north to the increasingly dissected desert topography in the south, where Baser Wash marks the lower reaches of the quadrangle.
