About this map

The Markagunt Plateau provides a high-elevation backdrop for this section of the Dixie National Forest, where the landscape is defined by its drainage systems and natural landmarks. Waters move through the terrain via Mammoth Cr and Strawberry Cr, feeding into points such as Castle Creek Reservoir and McDonald Lake. The presence of several named springs, including Wilson Spring and Black Rock Spring, indicates the importance of reliable water sources in this environment.

Logistics and recreation dominate the modern map, with an extensive network of loops such as the Asay Creek Loop and Turkey Track Loop connecting geological features like Asay Knoll and the subterranean Mammoth Cave. To the east, the terrain breaks at Sawyer Point and Castle Rock, overlooking Ikes Valley. This survey captures the area's transition between Kane and Garfield counties, preserving the names of localized flats like Houston Flat and Bowers Flat.
