About this map

Dixie National Forest defines the rugged topography of this Garfield County landscape, where deep drainages like Butch Cassidy Draw and Limekiln Draw carve through high-elevation plateaus. The terrain is a network of named benches and flats, such as Clark Bench and Hancock Flat, which rise above the winding paths of Limekiln Creek and its tributaries.

A complex system of routes and water sources sustained movement through this area, from the Casto Canyon Trl to the numerous springs that dot the map, including Casto Springs and Bill Pinney Spring. The inclusion of the Cassidy Trl and Losee Canyon Trl suggests a landscape navigated by traditional trails and forest service roads like Limekiln Rd, connecting remote landmarks like Black Mtn to the surrounding canyons. This survey documents the preserved wilderness and the established backcountry access points that characterize the region.
