2011 Map of Deer Point

About this map

Big Thomson Mesa dominates the central landscape of this Garfield County quadrangle, a testament to the dramatic verticality of the southern Utah desert. The winding path of Burr Trl provides a critical historical and modern corridor through this high-plateau terrain, descending toward the lower drainage basins. This area is defined by its seasonal hydrology, where Halls Creek carves a path through the sandstone, supported by isolated water sources like Clay Seep in the northern reaches. The topographical layout near Deer Point and Hall Divide illustrates the complex drainage and erosion patterns typical of this region, providing essential spatial data for those studying the physical geography of the Colorado Plateau at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
