About this map

Dixie National Forest covers the northwestern corner of this territory, where the terrain is defined by the prominent Death Ridge and the isolated Lonesome Pine Flat. The landscape is a network of deep drainages, including the prominent Escalante Canyon in the south and Right Hand Collet Canyon near the boundary between Garfield and Kane Counties. Water sources are sparse but critical markers in this arid environment, evidenced by Death Ridge Reservoir, Mossy Dell Spring, and Camp Spring.

Human activity is largely limited to the Smoky Mountain Road TR 330, which provides access through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals a drainage system where Alvey Wash, Little Valley Wash, and Trap Canyon Wash converge toward the larger canyon systems. This topography reflects a classic southwestern pattern of seasonal watercourses carving through high-elevation ridges, such as the secluded Mossy Dell area below the main ridge line.
