About this map

Three Forks sits at a geographic convergence in Uinta County, where the high-altitude hydrology of the region is meticulously documented through a complex network of seasonal and perennial drainage. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including the N Fork Fowkes Canyon Cr and Middle Fork Fowkes Canyon Cr, which illustrate the natural watershed patterns typical of this Wyoming high-country. Named topographical features such as Acocks Canyon and Christensen Hollow break the terrain, while reliable water sources like School Section Spring and Grove Spring suggest the essential infrastructure required for land management and cattle grazing in an arid climate.

Primary access through this territory is maintained by a handful of established routes, most notably Salt Creek Rd and Whitney Canyon Rd. These roads follow the natural contours of the land, providing a glimpse into the late 20th-century movement across the township lines of T17N and T18N. The presence of features like Shell Hollow and Whitney Canyon further emphasizes the deeply incised nature of the local geography, useful for researchers tracing land patents and topographic history in this corner of the state.
