2023 Map of Adams Head

About this map

Adams Head stands as a prominent high point on the Sevier Plateau, anchoring this high-elevation landscape within the Dixie National Forest. The 2023 survey illustrates an intricate network of drainage systems and ridge-line trails that define the local topography. Water moves through complex forks such as Mountain Spring Fork, Deer Creek, and the East Fork Hunt Creek, while geological features like Window Rock and Crow Peak mark the rugged interior. A robust trail system, including the Adams Head Trl, Rock Creek Trl, and Mount Dutton Trl, provides the primary means of navigating these peaks and hollows. This map documents the persistent backcountry character of Garfield County, where the absence of modern roads highlights a landscape shaped by natural landmarks like Cottonwood Peak and the expansive Marshall Meadow.
