About this map

Tarantula Mesa dominates the northern reaches of this Garfield County landscape, standing as a prominent highland feature north of Cave Flat. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a network of drainage systems including the winding Muley Cr and the eastern flow of Bullfrog Cr. The topography is defined by deep incisions such as Seven Canyon, Five Canyon, and the appropriately named Divide Canyon.

Evidence of local navigation is limited but significant, represented by the presence of Tarantula Mesa Rd cutting through the northern townships. To the south, the terrain transitions toward Swap Mesa and Swap Canyon, while Pipe Spring Canyon marks the eastern edge. The map provides a precise view of the Public Land Survey System divisions, from T32S through T34S, revealing the systematic organization of this interior desert region.
