2017 Map of Adams Head

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of the Sevier Plateau, where a complex network of pack trails and watercourses defines the terrain. The geography is anchored by prominent summits including Cottonwood Peak, Crow Peak, and the namesake Adams Head, which serves as a major landmark for the region. This survey illustrates a primitive transportation infrastructure consisting entirely of trails, such as the Adams Head Trail and the Mount Dutton Trail, which navigate between drainage systems like the N Fork Cottonwood Cr and Mountain Spring Fork. The concentration of named meadows and peaks, including Marshall Meadow and the distinctive Window Rock, suggests a landscape primarily utilized for seasonal grazing and forest management. Geologists and local historians can observe the intricate drainage patterns of the Right Fork Sanford Cr and Hancock Cr as they carve through the volcanic plateau.
