1966 Map of Tom Patterson Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Mc Cook Ridge and its long fingers define the high Uintah County plateau, carved by the branching drainage of Tom Patterson Canyon. This 1966 field-checked landscape, later updated in 1987, reveals a network of water sources vital to high-altitude transit, including Sweet Water Spring and Black Horse Spring. The terrain is marked by historical movement along the Moccasin Trail and Taylor Canyon Trail, suggesting established paths through the complex canyon system. The existence of a Landing Strip on West Tom Patterson Point indicates the mid-century's reach into these remote reaches for resource management or surveying. To the east, Bitter Creek flows northward, flanked by prominent landforms like Rat Hole Ridge and August Canyon, while the Colorado state line lies just a few miles away across the high-desert divide.
