About this map

Coyote Creek carves through the heart of this Kane County landscape, revealing a complex network of plateaus and erosion-carved canyons as they appeared in the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by massive formations such as Jack Riggs Bench and Brigham Plains, which drop away into deep incisions like Chyhoweth Canyon and Riggs Canyon. Near the southern extent of the survey, the Salt Lake Meridian provides a primary surveying reference point, cutting past the isolated settlement at Adair.

A Jeep Trail provides the primary access through these high-desert benches, passing Lower Coyote Spring and leading toward the dramatic geological features of The Rimrocks and White Rocks. In the southeastern corner, the landscape opens into the East Clark Bench, punctuated by the distinctive landmark of Chimney Rock. This record of the 1981 terrain captures a system of land use where isolated structures like a Corral mark the sparse human presence amidst a wilderness of named drainages like Wahweap Creek.
