About this map

The San Rafael Swell dominates this portion of Emery County, Utah, where a complex network of canyons and geological formations defines the desert landscape. The eastern edge of the swell is marked by the sharp upturn of the San Rafael Reef, a barrier cut by drainage systems like Cistern Canyon and Stinking Spring Cr. These watercourses eventually join the larger Muddy Cr, which carves through narrow passages like The Chute and opens into wider basins such as The Pasture.

Remote backcountry routes, including the Behind The Reef Road and Wild Horse Rd, provide access to this arid environment. Significant natural features include Sy Butte, the deeply recessed Segers Hole, and the southern Moroni Slopes. The presence of established water sources like Bullberry Spring and the seasonal Salt Wash indicates the vital points that have historically supported grazing and travel through Hunt Draw.
