1985 Map of Emmett Hill

About this map

The dramatic elevation shifts of the Vermilion Cliffs dominate this landscape, marking the transition from the high Paria Plateau down into the expansive House Rock Valley. In the mid-1980s, this area remained largely defined by its natural water sources, with Hancock Spring, Jacobs Pool, and Sunset Spring providing critical points of reference in an otherwise arid environment. The presence of Gravel Pits in the valley floor suggests localized material extraction, likely for the maintenance of the unimproved roads and trails that traverse the terrain.
