About this map

Dry Lakes Peak dominates the high ground of this landscape, marking the rugged divide between the northern Blue Valley and the southern highlands near the boundary of Wayne Co and Garfield Co. This mid-1980s topographic survey highlights a remote network of springs and drainage systems, including Birch Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which have carved out distinct features such as The Narrows.

Evidence of historical land use is visible at sites like Rock Corral and Corral, while the naming of Dugout Bench and its associated Dugout Wash suggests the practical infrastructure of earlier settlement or ranching. Unique geological landmarks such as the Bacon Slide and the expansive Jet Basin characterize the dramatic elevation changes that define this portion of the Utah interior, providing a clear record of the terrain as it existed before contemporary developments.
