2023 Map of Asay Bench

About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates the high-altitude landscape where Garfield and Kane Counties meet. This survey details the transition from the Markagunt Plateau to the broken rimrock of Mammoth Ridge and Little Mtn. The topography is defined by a series of broad flats and benches, most notably Asay Bench, Uinta Flat, and Houston Flat, which are interconnected by an extensive network of forest service roads and recreational trails. Water sources are critical identifiers in this environment, including Wilson Spring, Cub Spring, and the Castle Cr Reservoir. A complex system of loops like the Asay Knoll Loop Trl and Turkey Track Loop Trl winds through the drainages of Mammoth Creek and Strawberry Creek, indicating the region's importance for timber management and backcountry access.
