2023 Map of Tepee Canyon

About this map

Diamond Ridge and the high plateaus of Grand County define this landscape, where a complex network of canyons drains the high country of eastern Utah. The terrain is dominated by the prominent Cottonwood Point and the long expanse of Little Creek Ridge, which separates the drainages of Little Creek and East Willow Creek. The map provides a contemporary record of these ancient geological formations, illustrating the intricate erosional patterns of Tepee Canyon, Cherry Canyon, and Bear Canyon. This area remains largely undeveloped, characterized by its deep vertical relief and the absence of established settlements or named roads. The naming conventions follow natural landmarks and watercourses, reflecting the region's historical reliance on these drainages for navigation and land use in an arid environment.
