2017 Map of Calf Creek

About this map

Boulder Town serves as the primary point of settlement on this high-desert plateau, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Calf Cr and the Escalante River. The topography is marked by a series of prominent benches and mesas, including New Home Bench, McGath Point Bench, and Durffey Mesa. This 2017 survey reveals a complex network of natural landmarks and geological formations, including Escalante Natural Bridge, Bowington Arch, and Phipps Arch. The presence of Upper Calf Creek Falls and Lower Calf Creek Falls highlights the rare surface water features of the region. Transportation routes are sparse but significant, featuring the Burr Trl and the historic road from Moab to Boulder Town. The map also details numerous named benches such as Bowington Bench and Haymaker Bench, reflecting the distinct tiered elevation changes characteristic of this portion of Garfield County.
