About this map

Copper Globe serves as a central landmark in this high-desert portion of the San Rafael Swell in Emery County. The landscape is defined by deep incisions such as Devils Canyon and Eagle Canyon that carve through the sedimentary layers, while prominent elevations like Secret Mesa and Square Top overlook the surrounding draws. The drainage network includes Reed Wash and South Salt Wash, illustrating the erosional forces that have shaped the geological features here over millennia.

Human presence is marked by routes like the Moore Cutoff Rd and Co Road 1019 which provide access across the plateau. The map highlights the Link Flat Natural Area and adjacent Link Flats, preserving a distinct environmental zone on the Sagebrush Bench. These named features, including the unique geological formation known as The Dike, offer specific coordinates for those studying the regional geography and historical land use of the central Utah interior.
