2014 Map of Death Ridge

About this map

Dixie National Forest boundaries encompass the western portion of this high-desert landscape, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of canyons and washes. The central prominence of Death Ridge serves as a watershed divide, with seasonal drainages like Alvey Wash and Trap Canyon Wash cutting through the topography. In an environment defined by aridity, specific water sources such as Mossy Dell Spring, Camp Spring, and the Death Ridge Reservoir are significant localized landmarks. The presence of Lonesome Pine Flat and Mossy Dell indicates pockets of distinct vegetation or sheltered topography amidst the larger canyon systems. Remote access is primarily provided by Smokey Mountain Rd, which skirts the eastern edge of the quadrangle near Star Seep. This geography highlights the transition between the high forest lands and the deeply eroded corridors of Escalante Canyon and Right Hand Collet Canyon to the south.
