2017 Map of Lighthouse Canyon

About this map

Range Cr flows through the center of this terrain-dominated landscape on the border of Carbon and Emery Counties. The 2017 survey details a high-elevation environment defined by a dense network of deep drainages, including the prominent Lighthouse Canyon and Nelson Canyon. The presence of the Tavapats Ranch Airport on the northern plateau indicates the area's isolation and the necessity of aerial access to this high desert country. Roadways like Range Creek Rd and Range Valley Mountain Rd trace the ridgelines and canyon floors, providing the primary overland routes between named features like Barton Canyon and Gooseberry Canyon. This map is particularly useful for understanding the complex hydrology and topography of the Book Cliffs region, where dramatic elevation changes are named with local identifiers such as Twin Springs Draw and Cherry Meadow Cherry Meadow Canyon.
