2011 Map of Ant Knoll

About this map

Eggnog serves as a central reference point in this arid high-desert landscape of Garfield County, where the topography is defined by high mesas and deep drainage incisions. The map traces the critical route of the Burr Trl as it winds past Butt Canyon and Ant Knoll, providing the primary corridor through this remote segment of southern Utah. Water management and resource location are paramount here, evidenced by the presence of Jackass Spring and Thompson Seep, which have historically supported livestock and travelers in an environment carved by Bullfrog Creek and its many tributaries. The industrial history of the region is anchored by the Stanton Mine situated to the east, while the broad, elevated expanse of Coal Bed Mesa dominates the southeastern quadrant, illustrating the distinct geological layering of the Colorado Plateau.
