2023 Map of Fable Valley

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Dark Canyon Plateau and the eroded depths of Fable Valley dominate this high-desert landscape within the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The map documents a complex drainage system where Beef Basin Wash and Ruin Canyon carve through the sedimentary layers of the Colorado Plateau. This area is defined by its dramatic verticality, from the towering House Park Butte to the geological curiosity of Aesops Arch. Water sources remain critical focal points in this arid environment, evidenced by named features such as Moki Spring, Fable Spring, and Wild Cow Spring. The network of unimproved tracks like Home Water Spring Rd and Sweet Alice Rd provides the primary access through the Beef Basin area, following the natural contours of the canyons and the base of the Sweet Alice Hills.
