About this map

Tavaputs Ranch Airport sits at the southern edge of this high-altitude landscape in Carbon County, where a network of steep canyons and elongated ridges defines the terrain. The topography is dominated by massive formations like Summerhouse Ridge and Range Valley Mountain, which separate drainage systems such as Summerhouse Canyon and Gooseberry Canyon. A complex series of mountain roads, including Bishop Ridge Rd and Steer Ridge Rd, provides access across the various ridges.

Reliable water sources are scattered throughout these elevations, marked by Willow Patch Spring, Spradling Spring, and White Bear Spring. The map documents the intricate natural drainage of Rock Cr and its Left Fork Rock Cr, illustrating how these seasonal or permanent waters have carved the canyons over time. Surveyed township and range lines like t14s r15e and t15s r16e provide a cadastral framework for this portion of the Tavaputs Plateau.
