About this map

Long Ridge and the West Hills dominate this section of the Utah and Juab County border, where high desert terrain drops toward the Goshen Valley in the north. The landscape is defined by a complex network of drainages and named canyons, including the winding Crooked Canyon and the prominent Slate Jack Canyon. Water sources are sparse but critical to the area's history, marked by secluded locations like Slate Jack Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Lunt-Lattimer Spring.

Tracing the eastern edge of the ridge reveals the Swasey Family Cem, a site of significant genealogical interest located near Old Canyon. The map details geological and topographical curiosities such as The Devils Steps and the broad opening of Dog Valley. Infrastructure is limited to rugged routes like Goshen Canyon Rd and Wiley's Way, reflecting the area's enduring character as a high-altitude ranching and transition zone.
