About this map

The Escalante Mountains dominate this high-elevation landscape within the Dixie National Forest, where a sophisticated network of small-scale water management features is evident. Numerous reservoirs, including Barker Reservoir, Lower Barker Reservoir, and Joe Lay Reservoir, are concentrated around Dougherty Basin, illustrating the importance of water storage in this arid Utah environment. The mapping reveals a transition from the high ridges of Griffin Top down toward Whites Flat and Whites Cove, showing how the terrain dictates the flow of Antimony Creek and the W Fork N Creek.

Transport across this backcountry is defined by specialized routes such as the Great Western Trail and the Island In The Sky Trail, alongside several motorized paths like the Pacer Lake Atv Trail. These trails connect isolated springs and lakes, from Gibbons Springs in the north to Mud Lake in the south, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and land use patterns within Garfield County during the early 21st century.
