About this map

The settlement of Emery serves as a focal point for this 2014 survey, which reveals an intricate irrigation network vital to the High Plateau region. The Rochester Canal and Emery Canal divert water from Muddy Cr to support local agriculture, a system that has historically sustained these high-desert communities. To the north, the small community of Moore sits at the junction of the E Moore Cutoff Rd, highlighting the connectivity between isolated settlements.

Contrasting the settled valleys, the eastern portion of the map is defined by the striking geological features of Molen Reef and the Coal Cliffs. These formations give way to the deep incisions of Miller Canyon and the expansive Castle Valley. The northern border of the map transitions into the protected highlands of the Manti-Lasal National Forest, illustrating the boundary between the managed agrarian lands and the wilder, higher elevations of the Colorado Plateau.
