2023 Map of Flattop Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Flattop Mtn dominates this high-elevation landscape in Emery County, serving as a central point for a complex network of arid drainages and naming-conventions that reflect the dry, demanding nature of the Utah interior. The map illustrates a topography defined by steep-walled breaks and extensive plateaus, such as Huff Bench and Long Point Ridge, which flank the higher summits. Water sources are precious and specifically noted, including Dripping Spring and Lucky Flats Spring, which likely served as critical landmarks for early travelers and livestock. To the south and east, the terrain opens into broader expanses like Lucky Flats and Humbug Flats, while the erosional power of the region is evident in the deep incisions of Sulphur Canyon, Humbug Canyon, and Neversweat Wash. Unique landforms like The Door suggest narrow passages through the sandstone rimrock, typical of the San Rafael Swell area's geological character.
