About this map

Wolf Flat and the surrounding drainage networks of Uintah County define this high-plateau landscape. The terrain is characterized by a complex system of deep draws and canyons, including the prominent Cottonwood Canyon and Tabyago Canyon which cut through the central portion of the quadrangle. Isolated water sources appear throughout the region, marked by sites such as Charlie Brown Spring, Secret Spring, and Cottonwood Spring, indicating the critical role of these points in an otherwise arid environment.

To the south, the topography descends into the formidable Death Canyon, anchored by the high vista of Death Canyon Point. Named features like Wilcox Canyon and Little Doggie Spring suggest a history of ranching or local land use, where named landmarks were essential for navigating the intricate breaks and ridges. This map provides a detailed view of the natural hydrology and landforms, from the northern reach of Big Canyon to the southern depths of Big Doggie Canyon.
