2023 Map of Gilson Butte
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The San Rafael Desert dominates this terrain in Emery County, where the stark topography is defined by significant landmarks like Gilson Butte and Little Gilson Butte. The landscape is largely arid and open, punctuated by the seasonal drainage of Blackburn Draw and the distinctive elevations of The Flat Tops in the southeastern quadrant. Human infrastructure is limited to two primary thoroughfares: Lower San Rafael Rd, which cuts north-south through the desert floor, and the utility-focused route of SR-24/Rattlesnake Explor in the northeast. This 2023 survey provides a contemporary look at the section lines and natural landmarks that orient travelers and land managers through this portion of the Utah desert.
