2020 Map of Wolf Flat

About this map

Wolf Flat dominates the high ground in this section of Uintah County, where the landscape is deeply etched by a network of drainage systems. The plateau is bounded by numerous canyons, including School Section Canyon and Mexican Canyon to the east, and Papoose Canyon and Tabyago Canyon to the west. This 2020 topographical study by the U.S. Geological Survey reveals a terrain where water sources are vital but dispersed, marked by named points like Cottonwood Spring, Clear Spring, and the uniquely named Charlie Brown Spring. Toward the southern reaches, the elevation drops sharply at Death Canyon Point overlooking the confluence of Death Canyon and the Big Doggie and Little Doggie canyons. The density of named draws and springs suggests a landscape where navigational landmarks are tied to the scarce movement of water and the dramatic relief of the canyon rims.
