About this map

Vermilion Cliffs dominate the upper elevations of this southern Utah landscape, where drainage patterns define the movement through the high desert. The area is marked by a complex system of dry washes and deep incisions, including the prominent Kitchen Corral Wash and Kimball Valley. These natural corridors have long dictated travel, as evidenced by the modern Park Wash Rd following the natural path of the wash toward Box Elder Canyon in the north.

Evidence of historical resource extraction is visible at the King Mine, situated below White Rocks and north of the main thoroughfare. The terrain transitions from the heights of Pilot Ridge to the broad expanse of Telegraph Flat in the south, while the passage at Eightmile Pass serves as a key topographical notch. This 2011 survey documents a remote backcountry largely shaped by its geologic features, from the depths of Buckskin Gulch to the rise of Fivemile Mountain.
