1996 Map of Wood Canyon

About this map

Ashley National Forest covers the northern reaches of this terrain, where the Salt Lake Meridian cuts across the Bad Land Cliffs. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the high Argyle Ridge and the deep drainage basins of Argyle Creek and Nine Mile Creek. This 1996 revision shows a region primarily shaped by its hydrology and relief, with named features like Birch Bottom Canyon, Arnolds Canyon, and Little Sulphur Canyon carving through the plateau. A Drill Hole near the upper reaches of Argyle Canyon indicates subsurface exploration, while the presence of the Duchesne Co Carbon Co boundary line highlights the administrative division of this remote landscape. The map's detailed topography illustrates the narrow corridors of Cow Canyon and Sheep Canyon as they feed into the larger creek systems.
