Canyons of the Wasatch Front on the east of Utah Valley

I have been exploring the canyons in my area more, so I wanted to create some pictures that label the names for those wanting to know as I was.  I have also tried to label (in the captions) the names of the peaks/ mountains, but I still don't know completely which ones are which yet.  If I find out I will update my pictures.  Hope this is helpful to you.  (I also found a great website listing all the mountains in Utah County with their elevations and latitude/ longitude, check it out.)
Click on each image so you can see it bigger and notice the arrows/labels.

From North to South:
American Fork Canyon, Lone Peak behind (Timpanogos in foreground)

Grove Creek Canyon, Battle Creek Canyon, Dry Canyon, Provo Canyon
Mount Timpanogos behind
Big Baldy Mountain between Dry Canyon & Battle Creek Canyon


Provo Canyon, Little Rock Canyon, Rock Canyon, Slate Canyon
Cascade Mountain, Squaw Peak jutting up in the middle, Y Mountain, Maple Mountain, (behind, may not be visible - Provo Peak, Freedom Peak)

Canyons of the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains along the east of Utah Valley

Whew, long title.
I have been trying to figure out all the names of the canyons in Utah Valley.  Growing up, of course I knew about all the "big" ones because we went to them all the time - AF, Provo, Hobble Creek and Spanish Fork canyons.  But this past year I've been discovering the others and it's really been awesome.  I haven't visited or hiked in all of them yet, but I plan to.  I had to look up the names of some of these with help of Google.  Maybe someone else is looking for it too, so here it is, and I hope to some day put this on to a picture or drawing for all the visual people like me.  If you see that I have any of them wrong or missed any, please let me know!

Canyons of Utah Valley, north to south:
