About this map

Chamberlains Ranch sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, marking a rare point of human settlement in a terrain dominated by the complex drainage systems of the North Fork Virgin River. The topography is defined by a dense network of canyons and gulches, including Ashdown Canyon, Stevens Canyon, and Straight Canyon, which illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of the southern Utah plateau.

Upland features such as The Plains and Horse Knoll contrast with the deep incisions of Right Fork Orderville Gulch and Bauer Canyon. Essential water sources for ranching and local wildlife are documented at Bulloch Spring and Lower Bear Spring, while named landmarks like Millet Point and North Twin Hollow provide specific points of reference for navigating the winding corridors of the Colorado River Basin's high desert reaches.
