About this map

Three Forks sits at a significant convergence of hydrology in Uinta County, where the various branches of Fowkes Canyon Cr meet. This 2015 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its canyon systems and critical water sources in an arid high-elevation environment. The drainage network is complex, featuring the Middle Fork Fowkes Canyon Cr and S Fork Fowkes Canyon Cr, alongside northern flows such as Salt Cr and Red Rock Fork Salt Cr.

Evidence of historical land use is preserved through named landmarks like Christensen Hollow and Acocks Canyon, which reflect the ranching and settlement history of the region. Local infrastructure is minimal, centered on Salt Creek Rd and Whitney Canyon Rd, providing access to remote springs like Section Spring and School Section Spring. The map serves as a detailed record of the township and range divisions, documenting the geography of the Wyoming-Utah borderlands.
