2020 Map of Asay Bench

About this map

Dixie National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape, where the border of Garfield and Kane counties runs through a complex system of plateaus and valleys. The Markagunt Plateau dominates the southern reaches, characterized by geological features like Mammoth Cave and the distinct volcanic outcropping of Black Rock. This topography is defined by its drainages, where Mammoth Cr and Asay Cr cut through the terrain, supported by reliable water sources such as Wilson Spring and Black Rock Spring. The map reveals a network of forest access routes, including the Turkey Track Loop and Asay Creek Loop, which navigate the flats and knolls of the high country. Landforms like Asay Bench and Ikes Valley provide level ground amidst the prominent rises of Little Mtn and Strawberry Knolls.
