2012 Map of Three Forks

About this map

Three Forks sits at a convergence of drainages in Uinta County, where the landscape is defined by the complex hydrology of Whitney Canyon and the multiple branches of the Fowkes Canyon Cr system. The terrain is marked by significant spring activity, including School Section Spring in the north and Grove Spring further east, which historically provided vital water sources in this arid region of Wyoming. The network of canyons is articulated through detailed drainage patterns, such as the N Fork Fowkes Canyon Cr and S Fork Fowkes Canyon Cr. Access through this high-country terrain follows established routes like Whitney Canyon Rd and Salt Creek Rd, tracing the natural paths carved by Salt Cr and other local waterways. This map provides a clear view of the topographical relationship between these canyons and the early 21st-century road network that connects them.
