About this map

The Wasatch Plateau dominates this high-country landscape, marked by the deep incision of Ferron Canyon as it cuts eastward across the Sanpete and Emery county line. This 2023 survey illustrates the intricate drainage network of the Manti-La Sal National Forest, where high ridges like Wagon Road Ridge and Buck Ridge separate the headwaters of Big Bear Creek and North Dragon Creek. The terrain is characterized by broad flats such as McEwan Flat and Elk Horn Flat, which provide a stark contrast to the sheer verticality of Steamboat Point.

Navigation through this mountain environment is defined by a system of historical trails and forest roads. The Ferron Canyon Road follows the primary waterway through The Narrows, while more remote paths like the Kitchen Trl lead to localized landmarks such as The Kitchen. For those tracking family connections to the high summer ranges, named features like Dairy Point and Dairy Creek reflect the long-standing grazing traditions of this part of Utah.
