About this map

Vermilion Cliffs and the elevated Paria Plateau dominate the northern landscape of this region, dropping sharply into the sweeping expanse of House Rock Valley. The 2014 terrain is defined by its water management and high-desert hydrology, featuring crucial watering points like Jacobs Pool, Hancock Spring, and Blue Clay Reservoir. These features, along with Anderson Tank, suggest a land utilized for livestock and resource management within the high-elevation Arizona strip.

Transport is centered on Alt 89, which traverses the center of the map, providing the primary link through this arid environment. Significant geological features, including Sand Hill Crack and Emmett Hill, provide prominent landmarks for navigation across the basin. The drainage patterns of Emmett Wash and House Rock Wash illustrate the complex watershed that feeds into the nearby canyons of Seegmiller Canyon and Rock Canyon.
