About this map

The Price River winds through a landscape of deep canyons and prominent escarpments at the edge of the Carbon Co Emery Co line. Near the settlement of Woodside, the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad serves as the primary corridor for commerce and travel, supported by the Woodside Sta and a local Po. The industrial character of the region is anchored by the Geneva Coal Mine located near Horse Canyon, reflecting the era's reliance on the coal resources of the Book Cliffs.

Remote outposts like the Silvagni Ranch and numerous water sources such as Coon Spring and Kishtipes Reservoir highlight the importance of water management in this arid terrain. For genealogists, the small Cem near Woodside offers a tangible link to early residents. The complex topography is further defined by features such as The Cove and Lila Pt, which dominate the high ground above the river valley.
