About this map

Brian Head and the surrounding high-country terrain of the Markagunt Plateau are detailed here, illustrating the intersection of resort development and protected federal lands in the 21st century. The map shows the dense network of modern residential streets like Ridgeview St and Eagles Roost St alongside the extensive recreational infrastructure of the Dixie National Forest. This includes a complex system of hiking and winter sports paths such as the Brianhead Snowmobile Trail and Mace's Run Trail.

Further south, the landscape transitions into the preservation-focused environment of Cedar Breaks National Monument. The source documents the dramatic geology of the area, labeling unique formations like Adams Barrier, Columbine Ridge, and The Highleap. Water resources are central to this mountain geography, with Yankee Meadows Reservoir in the north and numerous drainages like Mammoth Cr and Parowan Cr carving through the canyons.
