2011 Map of Caineville

About this map

The Fremont River carves a winding path through this stark corridor of Wayne County, dictating the placement of settlements and transport in a landscape defined by towering geological formations. The small community of Caineville sits at the foot of the Caineville Reef, while the settlement of Aldrich is positioned further west near the river's bend. This 2011 survey illustrates how the environment dictates human activity, with the Red Desert and the massive North Caineville Mesa and South Caineville Mesa hem in the valley. Significant drainage systems like Dry Wash, Pleasant Creek, and Sandy Creek converge toward the river, while a River Ford suggests traditional crossing points that predate modern bridges. The presence of the Capitol Reef National Park Rd in the south connects this remote topography to the broader protected landscape.
