2017 Map of Hunt Draw

About this map

The San Rafael Reef and the San Rafael Swell define this portion of Emery County, where the desert landscape is carved by seasonal drainages and ancient geological uplifts. The map detail highlights the complex erosion patterns through Chimney Canyon and Cistern Canyon, leading into the deep recesses of Johns Hole and Segers Hole. This area, primarily managed by the BLM, is crossed by a network of rudimentary travel routes including the Behind the Reef Road and the path from Moab to Boulder Town. Water, though scarce, is marked by features such as Bullberry Spring and the winding course of Muddy Cr. The topography shifts dramatically from the high point of Sy Butte down toward the drainage of Hunt Draw, illustrating the stark transition between the high desert plateaus and the canyon floor.
