About this map

The settlement of Emery serves as the focal point for this landscape, where the flatlands meet the rising elevations of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. This late 1960s survey, updated with late 1970s photogrammetric data, shows a region defined by its water management and geology. Muddy Creek winds through the central valley, supported by a Gaging Station, while the dramatic Molen Reef Cliffs dominate the southeastern quadrant.

Infrastructure for the surrounding rural population is marked by the small community of Moore and various industrial and communication sites, including a Gravel Pit and a Radio Facility. Local history is anchored by the Cem just outside Emery and the Corral near the creek, illustrating a working landscape where ranching and resource extraction coexist with the protected wilderness of the National Forest Boundary.
