2017 Map of Flattop Mountain

About this map

Flattop Mountain rises as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape of Emery County, which is defined by a complex network of dry washes and canyons. The Price River cuts across the northern reaches, fed by drainages such as Lucky Flats Wash and Sulphur Canyon. To the south, topographic features like Cedar Mtn, Huff Bench, and The Door create a varied environment of ridges and flats. Of particular note is the Dinosaur Quarry & Flat Top trail or road that winds through the western terrain, pointing to the region's paleontological significance. The map also captures several water sources essential for survival in this arid territory, including Dripping Spring and Lucky Flats Spring, which would have been critical markers for early travelers and livestock operations alike.
