2014 Map of Butler Canyon

About this map

The Green River carves a deep, winding course through the heart of this high-desert terrain, serving as the primary boundary between Emery County and Grand County. This 2014 survey documents the meeting of the Price River and Green River at the southern end of the sheet, a critical hydrological junction in the arid landscape. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, from the heights of Big Horn Mtn and Elliot Mesa to the drainage systems of Butler Canyon and Rattlesnake Canyon. A singular artery, Hastings Rd, provides the primary access through the region, following the natural contours of the canyons and benches. The map reveals a land characterized by its severe erosion patterns, evidenced by landforms like Poverty Bench and Suluar Mesa, which overlook the canyon floors and seasonal flows of Coal Cr.
