About this map

San Rafael Swell defines this portion of the high desert landscape, where the dramatic transition to the San Rafael Reef begins to take shape. The area is a complex network of geological formations and erosional features, including the aptly named Sinbad Country and the deep incisions of Eardley Canyon and Ernie Canyon. Localized water sources are sparse, represented by the ephemeral Hyde Draw and its associated Hyde Draw Reservoir.

Named flats and draws such as Cliff Dweller Flat and Lone Man Draw suggest a long history of human transit through this demanding terrain. The map detail highlights the isolation of Arsons Garden, situated among the diverse topography of Straight Wash and Greasewood Draw. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage patterns that have sculpted the region, providing a baseline for understanding the remote geography of Emery County.
