About this map

The Escalante Mountains define this high-altitude landscape within the Dixie National Forest, where a sophisticated network of water management features sits atop the plateau. Numerous reservoirs, including Barker Reservoir, Joe Lay Reservoir, and Tall Four Reservoir, dominate the central terrain, indicating a complex history of irrigation and resource control in Garfield County. The drainage patterns of Twitchell Cr and Antimony Cr provide a natural framework for the surrounding peaks and basins.

Evidence of geological and naming history is preserved through labels like Sink Holes, The Gap, and Griffin Top. Local naming conventions are visible in features such as Holbys Bottom, Beck Hollow, and Whites Flat, offering clues for genealogists and local historians interested in the early usage and settlement patterns of this rugged region. The map also traces the path of N Creek Rd as it navigates the transition from Dougherty Basin toward the eastern coves.
