About this map

Lower Coyote Spring and the drainage of Coyote Cr dominate this section of the Kane County landscape, where the topography is defined by complex canyon systems and high benches. The map reveals a land shaped by water and erosion, featuring several prominent geological formations such as Chimney Rock and the striated formations of The Rimrocks. These landmarks, along with Coyote Point, served as critical navigational aids in a region where vertical relief often dictated movement.

Water sources like Wahweap Cr provide a contrast to the high, arid plateaus of Jack Riggs Bench and Sit Down Bench. The canyon network is particularly intricate here, with the Right Fork and Left Fork converging into the main Chynoweth Canyon. Such detailed mapping of these named canyons and rocky outcrops provides researchers with a precise view of the geographic features that have defined local ranching and travel routes for generations.
