About this map

The Awapa Plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the borders of Piute, Wayne, and Garfield counties converge within the Dixie National Forest. This terrain is defined by its complex water management system, featuring numerous high-country catchments such as Gripe Reservoir, Hunt Reservoir, and Ottos Reservoir. The names of these features, alongside others like Death Hollow and Okerlund Draw, suggest a history of ranching and livestock movement through these elevations.

Several prominent landmarks provide orientation across the plateau, including The Buttes—comprising North Butte, Mid Butte, and South Butte—and the namesake Flossie Knoll. The southern portion of the map is particularly focused on water storage near the head of Death Hollow, containing both Death Hollow Reservoir Number 1 and Death Hollow Reservoir Number 2. Access to these remote reaches is maintained via a network of forest roads, including Forest Rd 139 and Forest Rd 174.
