About this map

The Wedge and the deep drainage of Buckhorn Wash define this Emery County landscape, where high plateaus drop sharply into complex canyon systems. The area is marked by numerous natural water sources critical to high-desert life, including Joe Jensen Spring, Bob Hill Spring, and Johnson Spring. These features, along with the eponymous Bob Hill Knoll and Wimmer Knoll, suggest a history of livestock grazing and early territorial movement across the flats.

Evidence of local ranching and land use is further indicated by namesake landmarks such as Aldys Hole, Swazy Hole, and Orsons Pond. The northern expanse is dominated by Cedar Mtn and Huff Bench, while the southern portion transitions into the dramatic terrain of Upper Calf Canyon and Calf Canyon. The network of secondary roads, such as Co RD 401 and Lower Wedge RD, provides modern access to these remote topographical features.
