About this map

Horn Silver Gulch and Bellevue Flats characterize the arid, deeply etched landscape of this section of Emery County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and reservoirs essential for water management in the high desert, including Cinderella Reservoir, South Sand Reservoir, and Red Point Reservoir. Broad plateaus like Sand Bench, marked by the distinct Sand Bench Rim, rise above the washes, while geological formations like The Red Ledges provide clear landmarks for navigation.

Transportation through the area is maintained via Dutch Flat Rd and Co RD 708, which connect isolated water sources like Hendrick Spring and Oscars Pond. These features, alongside ephemeral waterways such as Molen Seep Wash and Coal Wash, illustrate the historical and ongoing reliance on sparse water resources in the Utah backcountry. The presence of named draws and hollows, such as Red Hole Draw and Wood Hollow, offers specific coordinates for those tracing local land use or geographic history.
