About this map

The White Cliffs stand as a central landmark in this portion of Kane County, defining a landscape of high terraces and deep drainage systems. To the north, the Skutumpah Terrace provides an elevated plateau, while the southern reaches transition into the Wygaret Terrace, accessible via the Wygaret Ter road. This 2017 survey reveals a terrain carved by numerous canyons, including Swapp Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon, which feed into the primary drainage of Johnson Wash along the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Evidence of local land use and naming is found in features like Bucks Pasture and John R Flat, suggesting a history of grazing or settlement near the prominence of Cutler Point. The map also traces the route of Johnson Canyon Rd, a vital corridor through this section of the Utah high country. These landmarks, along with family-named features like John R Canyon, offer specific points of interest for those researching the geographical and pastoral history of the region.
