About this map

Dirty Devil River carves a complex, winding path through this corner of Utah as it appeared during the mid-1980s. The river's serpentine course is the primary geographical feature, exhibiting dramatic oxbows and tight bends that define the surrounding terrain of Wayne and Garfield counties. While this provisional 1986 survey primarily documents the hydrological and topographical relief of the area, the name of the river itself reflects the early exploratory history of the region. The landscape is characterized by its isolation and the deep incision of the watercourse, which has historically influenced travel and land use in this part of the Southwest. Researchers can trace the river's alignment and elevation before subsequent decades of erosion and shifting sediment altered the banks of this remote waterway.
