2011 Map of House Park Butte

About this map

House Park Butte rises above a high-desert plateau in San Juan County, where a complex network of seasonal watercourses and backcountry routes defines the landscape. The drainage of Salt Creek and the West Fork Salt Creek dominate the eastern half of the quadrangle, while Butler Wash carves through the north. This 2011 survey documents a remote corner of Utah where land use is dictated by natural geography, featuring high-altitude clearings like Middle Park and House Park. Access is maintained through a series of numbered forest tracks and named paths such as Beef Basin and Sweet Alice Rd, which connect isolated landmarks like Crystal Spring and Boundary Butte. The presence of these named springs and roads suggests a long-standing history of cattle ranching and resource management in this arid territory.
