2011 Map of Horse Mountain

About this map

Horse Mountain dominates the high ground of this Kane County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by isolated water sources and sharp relief. In a region where reliable water is the primary factor for navigation and land use, named points like Tommy Water, Fourmile Water, and Kaibito Spring reveal the essential hydrology of the area. The map shows a transition from the elevated Dog Flat toward the deepening drainage of Halfmile Canyon, illustrating the complex erosional patterns typical of the southern Utah wilderness. This survey captures the rural character of the land as it remained in the early 21st century, prior to significant modern development. The network of seasonal drainages, including Tommy Smith Creek, underscores the environmental constraints that have historically shaped ranching and travel through this part of the Colorado Plateau.
