2014 Map of Buckhorn Reservoir

About this map

Buckhorn Reservoir and the surrounding high desert of Emery County appear here in a landscape defined by water management and dramatic geology. The map shows an intricate network of livestock ponds and catchments, including J J Reservoir, Jim Wilson Reservoir, and the pragmatically named Drought Relief Reservoir. These points of water are vital markers in an arid terrain dominated by named formations like The Red Ledges, Little Cedar Mtn, and the Chalk Hills. Toward the southeast, the terrain drops away at The Wedge and the Wedge Overlook, offering a detailed view of the rim topography above the San Rafael River corridor. Remote access is provided by primitive routes such as Oil Dome Rd and Fullers Bottom Rd, which cut across the wide expanses of Buckhorn Flat and Hadden Flat.
