About this map

Widtsoe Junction and its nearby Widtsoe Cemetery anchor the eastern edge of this Garfield County landscape, marking a site where early 20th-century dry-farming efforts once centered. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages feeding the East Fork Sevier River, including Hunt Creek and Clay Creek. Prominent topographic features like Flake Mountain and the expansive Flake Swale illustrate the complex geography of the plateau.

Water sources are critical to this arid region, evidenced by the Reynolds Spring Reservoir and several named springs such as Tom Best Spring and Dipping Vat Spring. The road network, including Toms Best Spring Rd and Pine Lake Rd, traces the movement of ranchers and forest managers through the drainage systems of Cameron Wash and Mud Spring Draw, providing a detailed look at land use in the high country.
