About this map

The Price River carves a deep path through this high-desert landscape in Emery County, defining the drainage patterns for the surrounding plateaus and canyons. High elevations are dominated by the Beckwith Plateau and Elliott Mesa, which overlook a complex network of erosional features including Jenny Canyon and Long Canyon. This 2014 survey illustrates the extreme verticality of the region, from the low-lying Little Park Wash to the prominent heights of Big Horn Mtn and the Big Horn Benches.

Human intervention is minimal here, limited primarily to Co Road 129 in the northwest, which provides access across the fractured terrain. The map serves as a detailed record of the natural landforms that have historically channeled movement through the region, such as Trail Canyon, Water Canyon, and Short Canyon. The intricate contouring highlights the isolation of these high mesas and the steep descents into Sand Knolls Canyon and the river valley below.
