2011 Map of Horse Flat

About this map

Horse Flat and its surrounding drainage systems define this high desert landscape in southern Utah. This 2011 survey illustrates a region shaped by erosional geography, where significant corridors like Long Flat Canyon and Coyote Canyon carve through the terrain. The presence of Cottonwood Canyon Rd in the western portion of the map highlights the primary route through this backcountry, running parallel to the winding course of Cottonwood Creek. To the east, the topography is dissected by the tributaries of Wahuweap Creek, including the family-named Tommy Smith Creek and its associated Tommy Canyon. These named features, along with the distinctively titled Cads Crotch, provide a detailed record of local toponyms in a landscape primarily defined by its watercourses and canyons.
