2017 Map of Wood Canyon

About this map

Bad Land Cliffs dominate the northern landscape of this region, which straddles the boundary between Duchesne Co and Carbon Co. This topography is defined by a dense network of drainages and elevated divides, including the prominent Argyle Ridge that separates the northern and southern water systems. The map details a transition from the protected terrain of Ashley National Forest in the northeast into a labyrinth of canyons that have historically provided transit routes through the high desert. Settlement is absent, as the land is instead characterized by its logistical utility for travel and water access. Significant corridors such as Ninemile Canyon and Argyle Cr follow the natural contours of the earth, while numerous smaller features like Timothy Canyon and Cow Canyon illustrate the intricate erosional patterns of the plateau.
