About this map

The Dirty Devil River carves a winding path through this corner of Wayne County, defining the intricate canyon system that characterizes the landscape. This 2017 survey documents the complex topography where the river meanders beneath the Upper Sand Slide and Lower Sand Slide, creating deep incisions like Buck Canyon and Pasture Canyon. To the southeast, the terrain opens into the Burr Desert, marked by prominent landmarks such as the Saw Tooth and North Point.

Cultural indicators are sparse in this desert environment, primarily limited to utilitarian access routes such as Sand Slide Rd and Sand Slide Well Rd. The map detail highlights significant natural features like Angel Cove Spring and the drainage of Beaver Wash, alongside the legendary namesake canyons including Robbers Roost Canyon and South Fork Robbers Roost Canyon. This documentation of landforms provides an essential record of the area's hydrology and geological relief, from the heights of Guss Knoll to the depths of No Mans Canyon.
