About this map

The Price River cuts through this high desert terrain in Emery County, serving as the primary corridor for movement and settlement in an otherwise arid landscape. The small community of Woodside is centered along the riverbank, where the local topography allows for a concentrated footprint of human activity. The presence of the Woodside Cem nearby provides a significant point of interest for genealogists and local historians, anchoring the settlement's history to the land.

To the north and east, the elevation rises sharply toward the Book Cliffs, a dominant geological feature that shapes the local drainage patterns. Water management is evident through the Kiahtipes Reservoir, while the passage of Co RD 128 and the main highway route trace the legacy of travel through the river valley. This survey captures the relationship between the limited water resources of the river and the vast, bench-like terrain that characterizes the region.
