2017 Map of Jacks Knob

About this map

The San Rafael Desert dominates this arid landscape in Emery County, Utah, where water sources dictate the movement of travelers and livestock. The topographic detail highlights the geological transition between the high ground of Jacks Knob and the dramatic escarpment of Sweetwater Reef. A network of remote desert roads and trails connects vital water points such as Lower Dugout Spring, Upper Dugout Spring, and Twin Springs, illustrating the logistical challenges of this high-desert environment. Further north, the landscape is carved by Dugout Wash and Moonshine Wash, while named features like Red Reef and Middle Canyon provide landmarks in a territory defined by its complex drainage patterns and relief.
