2020 Map of Burr Point

About this map

The Dirty Devil River carves a deep, winding path through this desert landscape along the border of Wayne and Garfield counties. This section of the Utah canyonlands is defined by expansive high plateaus such as Sams Mesa and Bert Mesa, which overlook a network of dramatic box canyons. The drainage patterns revealed here, including Twin Corral Box Canyon and Sams Mesa Box Canyon, demonstrate the complex erosional history of the Colorado Plateau, where water sources like Sams Mesa Spring remain vital landmarks in an otherwise arid environment.
