About this map

The high-elevation landscape of the Uinta Mountains is captured here at the boundary of Daggett and Uintah counties. The northeastern corner is defined by the sweeping course of the Green River, which carves through the terrain near the opening of Browns Park. The map documents a complex network of drainage systems and narrow corridors, including the prominent Warren Draw, Sears Canyon, and Tolivers Canyon. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, where ancient erosion has formed features like Red Knoll and deeply cut ravines such as Wagon Hollow.

Logistics in this remote part of northeastern Utah are dictated by natural gateways like Felix Pass and Dead Horse Pass, which provide passage through the high ridges. Local ranching and surveying history is reflected in the naming of critical water sources like Spitzenberg Spring and Sears Spring, as well as the specialized road network that includes Parson Ranch Rd and Mail Draw Rd. The map illustrates how human movement is strictly funneled by the verticality of the draws and the accessibility of these named passes.
