2020 Map of Brian Head

About this map

The Markagunt Plateau is the dominant geographical feature of this high-altitude landscape, where the resort community of Brian Head is established among the ridges and drainages. The map details the complex intersection of federal lands, including the northern portions of Cedar Breaks National Monument and the surrounding Dixie National Forest. This modern survey illustrates how recreation has shaped the modern topography, documenting a vast network of winter and summer trails such as the Brian Head Snowmobile Trail and the Sidney Peak Trail. In the southern reaches, striking geological formations are marked by Bristlecone Ridge, Columbine Ridge, and the Chessmen Ridge, which overlook deep-cut features like Labyrinth Canyon and Ashdown Cr. Settlement remains sparse outside the primary hub, with smaller named locales like Bear Flat, North View, and The Meadows providing reference points for researchers tracking land use and property boundaries near the Yankee Meadows Reservoir.
