About this map

Argyle Ridge dominates the center of this terrain where the border of Duchesne Co and Carbon Co follows the high ground. To the north, the drainage system of Argyle Cr carves out Argyle Canyon and Birch Bottom Canyon, with the northernmost reaches extending into the protected lands of Ashley National Forest. The landscape here is characterized by steep elevation changes, punctuated by the Bad Land Cliffs in the northeast.

Southern reaches of the survey are defined by the intricate network of Ninemile Canyon and its tributaries, including Timothy Canyon and Cow Canyon. The canyon floor is traced by Nine Mile Cr, with narrow access provided by Nine Mile Canyon Rd. The absence of established towns reflects the difficult geography of this portion of the Uinta Basin, where transport follows the natural corridors of Leers Canyon and Little Sulphur Canyon.
