2023 Map of Caine Springs

About this map

Salt Wash and its many tributaries carve through this arid landscape in Wayne County, Utah, revealing a complex network of seasonal drainages and topographic landmarks. The map illustrates a region defined by distinct geological formations, ranging from the high point of Black Mtn to the steady incline of the Moroni Slopes. This area, situated just north of the North Caineville Reef, relies on sparse water sources such as Caine Springs and Willow Seep, which have long been critical landmarks in this high-desert environment. The layout of Wood Bench and the deep cuts of Hartnet Draw suggest a terrain where travel was dictated by the narrow passages between mesas and the unpredictable flow of desert washes like Last Chance Wash and Middle Desert Wash.
