About this map

The Geneva Coal Mine stands as a primary industrial landmark in this corner of the Book Cliffs, located along the western reaches of Horse Canyon. The terrain is defined by a complex network of steep drainages and flat-topped landmarks, most notably the high vantage of Lila Point. Watercourses such as the North Fork Horse Canyon and South Fork Horse Canyon cut through the landscape, eventually merging into larger systems like Grassy Wash.

Transport and access in this remote area follow the natural contours of the land, with Horse Canyon Rd and Little Horse Canyon Rd providing the essential links to mining operations and topographic features like Little Horse Canyon and The Cove. This 2011 survey documents a landscape of resource extraction and dramatic geomorphology, from the deep incisions of Bear Canyon to the broad drainage of Marsh Flat Wash.
