1983 Map of Devils Hole

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The San Rafael River carves a deep, winding path through the heart of this Emery County landscape, defining the transition between the high plateaus and the canyon floors. The map reveals a complex network of dry washes and high-altitude flats, such as Prickly Pear Flat and Jackass Flat, which historically supported livestock and seasonal transit. The terrain is marked by dramatic geological formations, most notably the deep depression of Devils Hole and the narrow passage known as the Black Box. Human activity in this remote region is recorded through a few isolated prospects and a drill hole, indicating early exploration for minerals or water. From the heights of Heaven and Horse down to the Indian Bench, the map illustrates a landscape where survival depended on knowing specific water sources like the Moonshine Waterhole and Nates Spring Canyon.
