2020 Map of Jenny Canyon

About this map

The Price River carves a winding path through this high desert region of Emery County, defining the drainage patterns for a complex system of side canyons and plateaus. This 2020 survey documents a landscape of dramatic vertical relief, where the massive Beckwith Plateau and Elliott Mesa rise above the surrounding terrain. The map details the intricate network of erosional features, from the eponymous Jenny Canyon to the smaller Trail Canyon and Short Canyon. The lack of road infrastructure or named settlements emphasizes the character of this part of Utah, where topography and water sources like Little Park Wash and Water Canyon are the primary landmarks. High-altitude features including Big Horn Mtn and the Big Horn Benches overlook the Sand Knolls Canyon, illustrating the geomorphology of the San Rafael Swell area.
