2011 Map of Wilkin Ridge

About this map

Wilkin Ridge extends across this section of Duchesne County, Utah, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent drainage systems and isolated high points. The terrain is marked by a series of named washes, including the prominent Big Wash, Sheep Wash, and Petes Wash, which illustrate the hydraulic patterns of this arid environment. Significant landmarks such as Horner Knoll and Twin Knolls rise above the surrounding flats, while White Mule Spring suggests a critical, if rare, water source for livestock or wildlife in this portion of the Little Desert. The absence of permanent settlements and developed roads underscores the area's use for grazing and natural resource management, with local geography tied closely to the seasonal flow of Desert Spring Wash and Fourmile Wash.
