2023 Map of Cow Flats

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Cow Flats and its surrounding plateau systems define this high-desert landscape in Emery County, Utah. The terrain is characterized by broad benches and flats, including Lemon Flats, Lucky Flats, and Wimmer Flat, which sit above the deeply etched drainages of Desert Seep Wash and Red Holes Wash. To the south, the elevation rises toward Cedar Mtn and the distinctively named The Nipple, overlooking Huff Bench. Water management in this arid environment is evident through several small-scale catchments such as Cow Flat Reservoir, Dugway Reservoir, and Little Blue Pond. These features, along with natural water sources like Ware Spring and Clay Seep, suggest a landscape shaped by the needs of range livestock and seasonal runoff management. The lack of significant road infrastructure, apart from Co RD 206 and Bull Hollow, underscores the area's primary use for open grazing and its isolation within the broader desert region.
