2020 Map of Baking Skillet Knoll

About this map

The Burr Desert dominates this arid landscape where Garfield and Wayne counties meet. This 2020 edition reveals a complex network of canyons and washes, most notably Poison Spring Canyon and the winding Butler Wash to the south. The terrain is marked by distinctive formations like the eponymous Baking Skillet Knoll and Adobe Swale, while water sources such as Pool Spring and Dell Seep indicate the vital locations where moisture was historically found in this dry country. Backcountry access is documented through utilitarian routes like Water Tank Rd and Dell Seep Cutoff Rd, which cut across the high desert to serve cattle tanks and oil well sites. This modern topographic study preserves the essential nomenclature of a region defined by its hydrography and its role as a remote borderland.
