2017 Map of Wolf Flat

About this map

Wolf Flat and its surrounding canyon systems define this portion of the Uintah County plateau, where a complex network of ephemeral drainages and essential water sources are documented. Small watering points like Cottonwood Spring, Charlie Brown Spring, and Secret Spring appear as critical features in a landscape dominated by deep incisions such as Mexican Canyon and School Section Canyon. The terrain is characterized by prominent landmarks like Death Canyon Point, which overlooks the descent into Death Canyon and the neighboring Big Doggie Canyon. Further west, the geography shifts toward Tabyago Canyon and Horsecorn Canyon, revealing a rugged topography used for livestock grazing and land management. This 2017 U.S. Geological Survey record captures the drainage patterns and spring locations that have dictated movement and land use across these remote townships for decades.
