2011 Map of Emery West

About this map

Emery sits at the edge of a high-desert drainage system, where the town's geography is defined by the convergence of several major seasonal waterways. The landscape to the west is dominated by the massive erosion patterns of Link Canyon and Link Canyon Wash, which channel runoff toward the southern reaches of the quadrangle. Transport and industry in the region are clearly marked by the presence of Coal Mine Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to resource extraction and the logistical needs of moving materials through the varied terrain. In the northern and eastern portions, Muddy Creek and Wileys Fork cut through the topography, while the complex network of Quitchupah Creek and its north and east forks illustrate the intricate hydrological layout of the Emery County foothills during this period.
