About this map

Skinners Fork and its surrounding drainage systems define this high-desert landscape in Morrow County. The area is characterized by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and deeply etched canyons, including Stingel Canyon to the north and Carmichael Canyon in the south. These geographical features dictated the placement of early transportation routes like Willow Creek Rd and Balm Fork Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land.

Several named forks and creeks, such as Kilkenny Fork, Hinton Cr, and Willow Cr, converge throughout this territory, illustrating the hydrological patterns critical to local land use. The map provides a detailed view of the terrain as it appeared in the mid-2010s, showing the intersection of public land surveys and rugged topography where names like Stalter Canyon and Soocup Canyon serve as primary landmarks for land navigation.
