About this map

Wild Horse Parks defines this corner of Granite County, where a complex network of drainage basins and gulches shapes the high-country landscape. Water management is a central theme of the terrain, as seen at the Manley Number 1 Dam situated along the lower reaches of Douglas Creek. This waterway serves as a primary geographic spine for the area, roughly followed by Douglas Creek Rd as it moves through the mountains.

The map highlights a topography deeply carved by numerous named tributaries, including the curiously named Yourname Creek in the north and the converging flows of Black Bear Creek and Bear Creek to the south. Other features like Weasel Gulch and Bilk Gulch suggest a history of prospecting or early ranching, while Rattler Gulch Rd provides one of the few managed access points into this primitive mountain environment during the early 21st century.
