2014 Map of Deer Range Point

About this map

The White Cliffs and high plateaus of southern Utah dominate this landscape, where deep drainages like Kitchen Canyon and Box Elder Canyon cut through the high desert. This 2014 survey captures a terrain defined by its dramatic verticality, from the towering No Mans Mesa to the prominent landmark of Mollies Nipple. The Paria River and its tributary Snake Cr provide the primary watercourses, while Nipple Lake sits as a rare interior basin feature. Access through this remote corner of Kane County is limited to primitive routes such as Oil Well Rd and Buckskin Wash Rd, reflecting the area's isolation and lack of permanent settlement. Researchers can trace the complex network of swags—including North Swag and South Swag—that separate the distinct benches and points like Deer Range Point and Kirbys Point.
