2011 Map of Factory Butte

About this map

Factory Butte dominates this arid landscape in Emery County, providing a prominent landmark for the surrounding desert terrain. The area is defined by massive geological formations and drainage patterns, most notably the North Caineville Reef and the North Caineville Mesa. Human industrial activity is centered on the Factory Butte Coal Mine, which is connected to the wider region by the winding Coal Mine Rd. This road skirts the Factory Bench and follows the path of Coal Mine Wash. The map also delineates several large-scale landforms such as the Moroni Slopes and Wood Bench, illustrating a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow through features like Salt Wash and Neilson Wash. The topography shifts into the Upper Blue Hills in the southeast, showing the intricate erosion characteristic of this part of Utah.
