About this map

The Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry serves as the focal point of this arid landscape, highlighting a region defined by its paleontological significance and rugged water management. Located within the high desert terrain of Emery County, the map reveals a network of seasonal drainages and man-made water sources essential for ranching and resource management, such as the Cow Flat Reservoir and Dugway Reservoir.

Landmarks like The Nipple and Cedar Mtn provide vertical relief against the expansive plateaus of Cow Flats and Lucky Flats. The distribution of named water points, including Staker Spring, Wimmer Spring, and Ware Spring, alongside washes like Red Holes Wash and Desert Seep Wash, illustrates the precarious nature of water in this environment. The presence of Huff Bench and Wimmer Flat further defines the topography, while Cedar Overlook Rd provides one of the few named terrestrial transit routes through the area.
