2001 Map of Kigalia Point

About this map

Elk Ridge serves as the central spine for this high-elevation landscape in San Juan County, Utah, where deep drainage systems like Hammond Canyon and Butts Canyon carve through the plateau. Revised by the USDA Forest Service in 2001, the map details the primitive infrastructure of the South Manti-La Sal National Forest, emphasizing a network of 4WD roads that connect isolated landmarks. Significant natural features include the Dark Canyon Wilderness and the iconic Bears Ears twin peaks in the southwest. Historical land use is evident in the scattered Corrals and namesake points like Kigalia Point. Researchers will find specific natural monuments documented, such as Keystone Arch, alongside grazing-related sites like Babylon Pasture and vital water sources including Squaw Water Hole and Squaw Water Spring.
