1964 Map of Horse Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Horse Flat dominates this high-desert plateau in Kane County, Utah, where complex drainage systems and abrupt geological shifts define the landscape. The western edge is sharply bounded by The Cockscomb, a dramatic hogback ridge that funnels seasonal water into Cottonwood Creek and Rush Creek. The map documents a primitive transportation network, primarily consisting of a Jeep Trail that traverses the central flats, connecting the high country to the deeply incised Coyote Canyon and Long Canyon systems. These canyons eventually drain into the broad wash of Wahweap Creek, which carves through the southeast corner of the quadrangle. The inclusion of the Salt Lake Meridian provides a key surveying anchor, illustrating how early land divisions were imposed upon this intricate terrain of benches and crotches, such as Jack Riggs Bench and the curiously named Cads Crotch.
