2011 Map of Cow Creek

About this map

The East Fork Sevier River flows through the southeastern portion of this Garfield County landscape, highlighting a region defined by its intricate drainage systems and water sources. Water management and natural springs are central to this area, evidenced by features such as Mountain Spring Reservoir, Mountain Spring, and Beebe Spring. The map documents a network of seasonal and perennial waterways including Cottonwood Creek and its tributary, Little Cottonwood Creek, which carve through the high-elevation terrain. This 2011 survey captures the hydrological character of the plateau before modern drought cycles and management changes further altered the flow of Cow Creek and Cherry Creek. Topographic details like Lightning Hollow and the Dry Fork Rock Creek provide essential context for those studying the physical geography and livestock history of this part of Utah.
