About this map

Horse Haven Summit stands as a prominent high point in this Carbon County landscape, overlooking a complex system of ridges and canyons. The geography is defined by long, parallel formations such as Summerhouse Ridge, Gooseneck Ridge, and Van Duesen Ridge, which are separated by steep drainages like Buckskin Canyon and Gooseberry Canyon. This network of high ground is navigated by a series of primitive routes including Summer House Ridge Rd and Steer Ridge Rd, which follow the natural contours of the terrain.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with several named points such as Willow Patch Spring, Spradling Spring, and Downard Spring located throughout the drainages. Near the southern edge of the survey, the Tavapats Ranch Airport sits adjacent to Wilcox Rd, representing the primary modern infrastructure in an otherwise undeveloped area. The map also traces the Left Fork Rock Cr and several draws, providing a detailed look at the hydrological patterns that have shaped these canyons over time.
