About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this section of Emery County, where high plateaus are carved by a dense network of drainages and canyons. The landscape is defined by massive topographic features such as East Mtn and Trail Mtn, which overlook deep-cut routes like Dairy Canyon and Roans Canyon. The drainage pattern is complex, with Cottonwood Creek and Straight Canyon serving as primary corridors through the elevated terrain.

Evidence of early twentieth-century infrastructure and land management persists through routes like the Ccc Trail, while numerous family-named landmarks such as Reid and Nielson Swale and Cox Swale offer clues for local historical research. Water sources are scarce but significant, including Snow Lake and North Point Spring, which historically supported ranching and forest operations across the Clay Banks and toward the namesake Mahogany Point.
