About this map

Little Creek Mtn and the surrounding high desert mesas define the geography of this Washington County landscape. The 2023 survey documents the modern layout of Apple Valley, showing a grid of residential streets such as N Apple Valley Dr and W Smithsonian Way positioned near the base of the Little Plain. This map illustrates the transition from organized development to the undeveloped stretches of the Uinkaret Plateau and Gooseberry Mesa.

Water sources in this arid environment are sparse but historically significant, including the remote Gould Spring and drainage systems like Little Creek and Short Creek. The presence of named clearings such as Abs Clearing suggests localized land use and historical grazing patterns amidst the prominent terrain features like Gray Knoll. The map serves as a contemporary record of the intersection between growing mountain settlements and the protected topography of the Utah high plateau.
