About this map

Collet Top dominates this portion of the Kane County landscape, serving as a high-altitude anchor for a complex network of drainage systems. The map illustrates a series of deep cuts into the terrain, including Horse Canyon, Steer Canyon, and the elongated Cigar Creek Canyon. These features indicate a watershed characterized by significant elevation changes and seasonal water flow, with Circle Spring being a rare named water source in an otherwise arid stretch of territory.

A network of local roads and 4WD tracks, documented by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2011, threads through the topography, connecting the high ridges to the canyon floors. These paths provide the only access to the more isolated areas such as Button Canyon and Willard Canyon, highlighting the importance of these drainage features for navigation in the Utah backcountry. The absence of permanent settlements emphasizes the area's role as an undeveloped resource or recreation zone.
