About this map

The Price River carves a winding path through this corner of Emery County, defining a complex landscape of mesas and deep drainage systems. The high elevations are dominated by the broad Beckwith Plateau and the prominent Elliott Mesa, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle rise toward Mid Mtn. This terrain is characterized by its dramatic verticality, where flat-topped benches like the Big Horn Benches overlook a network of seasonal watercourses.

A dense web of canyons dissects the region, including the eponymous Jenny Canyon, Long Canyon, and the distinctively named Sand Knolls Canyon. These geographic features provide insight into the natural barriers and travel corridors of this arid environment, where drainage paths like Little Park Wash and Trail Canyon have historically dictated movement across the high desert. The map captures the undisturbed geological character of the region as documented in recent decades.
