2014 Map of Sams Canyon

About this map

Avintaquin Canyon and the high plateaus of Duchesne County dominate this 2014 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by an intricate network of drainages and named hollows. The terrain transitions from the deep cut of Sams Canyon in the north to the southern reaches of Lake Canyon, where Lake Canyon Rd follows the natural contours of the geography. Local history is reflected in names like Bear Gulch, Monument Gulch, and Hoodoo Canyon, suggesting a region shaped by both its geology and the early ranching or exploration routes that established these identifiers.
