2023 Map of Big Bend Draw

About this map

Muddy Creek flows through the southern portion of this landscape, forming the prominent geological feature known as The Big Bend. This area of the San Rafael Swell is defined by its complex drainage network and elevated landforms, including Reeds Mesa and the Lone Tree Wedge. Significant water sources in this arid environment are marked by distinct labels such as Clyde and Neils Pond, Chris Pond, and Broken Pond, while deep incisions in the earth are visible at Devils Canyon and Cat Canyon. The presence of the The Dike near the southern boundary and the Lower Kimball Seep along Kimball Draw highlights the unique hydrological and geological makeup of Emery County. Transport through this territory is facilitated by Interstate 70 and local routes like County Road 923.
