2017 Map of Elephant Butte

About this map

Elephant Butte and the Moccasin Mountains define this high-desert landscape along the border between Kane Co, Utah, and the Arizona strip. This 2017 survey shows a region where water sources like Langston Willow Spring and Wyatt Spring have historically been vital for livestock and survival in an otherwise arid environment. The map details a complex system of plateaus and flats, including Oak Flat and Harris Flat, interrupted by prominent geological features such as the White Cliffs and Sandstone Butte. Roads like Coral Pink Sand Dunes Rd and Whitney Rd provide access to this isolated terrain. For researchers and geologists, the map provides precise locations for named springs and canyons, including Rock Canyon and Rosy Canyon, illustrating how the terrain was navigated and utilized in the 21st century.
