About this map

Red Pryor Mtn anchors this high-elevation landscape within the Custer National Forest on the border of Carbon County. This 2020 survey details the complex topography of the Pryor Mountains, where deep drainages like Lost Water Canyon and Bear Canyon carve through the limestone uplift. The map highlights numerous named geographic features that define the region's character, from the high Red Pryor Divide to the recessed depths of Petroglyph Canyon.

Strategic access is provided by a handful of established routes, including Helt Rd and Gyp Springs Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Island Ridge and Demijohn Flat. The presence of features such as Red Pryor Ice and Gooseberry Hollow suggests a landscape of microclimates and specific landmarks known to local hunters and backcountry travelers. These named canyons and peaks serve as essential markers for understanding the remote terrain and drainage patterns into Crooked Cr.
