Fiftymile Mountain dominates the northeastern landscape of this Kane County terrain, where high plateaus give way to a complex system of drainage basins. This 1968 survey reveals a land defined by its deep vertical relief, notably at West End Point and Mudholes Point. The western portion is marked by the East of the Navajo region and the arid Burning Hills, characterized by scarce water sources and an absence of permanent settlements. Transportation across this demanding environment is limited to primitive Jeep Trails that snake through the canyon floors and across the uplands. Seasonal drainage is captured in a series of named arteries including Rogers Canyon, Monday Canyon, and Sunday Canyon, which eventually converge toward Croton Canyon in the south. The map illustrates a remote Utah wilderness prior to significant modern development, with only small pockets of low-lying relief like Little Valley breaking the high-desert topography.
