About this map

The Moccasin Mountains rise in the southern reaches of this Kane County terrain, where the high desert plateau meets the distinct white and red rock formations of the White Cliffs. The landscape is defined by its series of springs and seasonal water sources, such as Langston Willow Spring and Esplin Spring, which have historically provided critical hydration in this arid environment. Significant geologic landmarks like Elephant Butte and Sandstone Butte dominate the central topography, while Rock Canyon and Rosy Canyon carve deep passages through the surrounding mesas. In the southwest corner, the boundary of the Cottonwood Point Wilderness underscores the protected status of these remote canyons. Moving south, the high country transitions toward the sweeping dunes accessible via Coral Pink Sands Dunes Rd, reflecting the complex transition of sediment and stone in this section of southern Utah.
