2017 Map of Caine Springs

About this map

Caine Springs and the surrounding drainage network of the Middle Desert define this high-desert landscape in Wayne County. The terrain is shaped by significant geological features including the Moroni Slopes and the prominent Black Mtn. Water distribution, a critical element in this arid region, is traced through seasonal pathways like Last Chance Wash, Salt Wash, and Caineville Wash, leading down toward the N Caineville Reef. Access through this area is primarily via unpaved routes such as Cathedral Rd and Hartnet Valley Rd, which navigate between topographical landmarks like Wood Bench and the isolated Willow Seep. This 2017 survey reflects the enduring character of this backcountry environment, where ancient washes and named springs provide the only consistent landmarks in a vast expanse of open range.
