About this map

Baking Skillet Knoll rises as a prominent landmark above the vast expanse of the Burr Desert, illustrating the character of the southeastern Utah landscape in 2010. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages, including Granite Wash and Beaver Wash, which converge through Beaver Canyon. These natural corridors reveal the critical role of intermittent water sources in this arid environment, marked by isolated features like Pool Spring and Dell Seep.

The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding path of Poison Spring Canyon, flanked by the Poison Spring Benches. This area highlights the intersection of natural topography and human travel, as the Poison Springs Wash Rd follows the canyon floor. To the east, the Adobe Swale provides a contrast to the deeper canyon cuts, reflecting the varied geological formations documented by the U.S. Geological Survey.
