About this map

The Dirty Devil River winds through a landscape of deep drainages and high plateaus in this part of Wayne County. The river's path is marked by dramatic geological shifts, including the Upper Sand Slide and Lower Sand Slide, where the canyon walls transition into the surrounding heights. To the west, the high ground of Guss Knoll overlooks Hells Hole Canyon, while the eastern side is defined by the prominent Angel Point and the vast expanse of the Burr Desert.

Notable features such as Robbers Roost Canyon and its south fork suggest a history of seclusion provided by the terrain. Water sources are scarce in this arid environment, making points like Angel Cove Spring and the Beaver Wash critical landmarks for navigation and survival. The map illustrates a network of named canyons like Pasture Canyon and No Mans Canyon that carve through the desert floor, creating a complex system of natural corridors.
