About this map

Antelope Valley dominates this high desert landscape in Emery County, where an intricate network of drainages and intermittent water sources supported livestock and travel. The central Antelope Valley Wash acts as the primary corridor, flanked by water features like Big Pond, Kirby Pond, and the Antelope Valley Number Three Reservoir. This system of managed water, alongside natural points like Keg Spring and Johns Spring, illustrates the critical importance of water management in this arid region.

In the southeast, the terrain shifts dramatically at the head of Horseshoe Canyon, a deeply incised gorge where Barrier Cr begins its descent. High points such as Keg Knoll and Lookout Point serve as prominent landmarks overlooking the valley. Primitive roads like CO Road 1026 and CO Road 1011 trace historical routes through the townships of t25s r16e and t26s r16e, providing access to this remote corner of the San Rafael Swell area.
