About this map

The high Sevier Plateau dominates this portion of the Dixie National Forest, where the landscape is defined by steep drainage basins and prominent summits. At an elevation of over 10,000 feet, Adams Head serves as a central landmark for the surrounding terrain. The intricate network of waterways, including the Mountain Spring Fork and Deer Cr, reflects a complex watershed that feeds into several major fork systems.

Evidence of the area's geological character is found at Window Rock and the high-elevation Marshall Meadow, while peaks like Cottonwood Peak and Crow Peak anchor the ridgelines. The map illustrates the transition from deep canyons like Lightning Hollow to the upper reaches of the S-Fork Cottonwood Cr, providing an essential view of this Garfield County backcountry before recent land management shifts.
