1986 Map of Keg Knoll

About this map

Antelope Valley dominates this high-desert landscape on the border of Emery and Wayne counties. The geography is defined by a series of intermittent drainage systems and essential water sources, including the Antelope Valley No 3 Reservoir and several named ponds like Big Pond and Kirby Pond. These features highlight the importance of water management in this arid region of Utah during the late 20th century. Toward the eastern edge, the topography becomes more complex around Keg Knoll and the descent into Horseshoe Canyon Creek. Traditional land use is evident through the network of 4wd trails and isolated improvements such as the Saucer Basin Well and Old Man Spring. This provisional survey provides a precise look at the drainage patterns of Antelope Valley Wash and the surrounding high ground at Lookout Point before more modern developments changed the character of these backcountry areas.
