About this map

San Rafael Swell dominates this landscape, revealing a remote high-desert environment characterized by its complex drainages and stark geologic formations. The area is defined by massive features such as Secret Mesa, Sagebrush Bench, and the prominent Square Top. Human activity is sparse but notable, centered around the Copper Globe landmark and the Copper Globe Landing Strip, which suggest a history of isolated accessibility.

Drainage patterns like Reed Wash, South Salt Wash, and Kimball Draw carve through the terrain, while roads such as Co RD 803 and Co RD 927 provide the only access to the interiors of Justensen Flats and Link Flats. The presence of several Land Office Bureau parcels, marked by the PB prefixes, indicates the intricate land-management history of this Emery County region. The natural barrier of The Dike and the depths of Sulphur Canyon further illustrate the difficult navigation of this territory.
