About this map

Awapa Plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape in Wayne County, where the topography is defined by a series of prominent peaks and deep drainage systems. The survey centers on Moroni Peak and the curiously named Elsies Nipple, providing a detailed view of the natural landmarks that have guided travelers through this part of Utah for generations.

Surface water patterns are traced through numerous hollows and draws, including Long Hollow, Big Hollow, and Wildcat Hollow, which carve through the elevated flats. The transition from the plateau to the surrounding valleys is marked by features such as Bullhead Bench and the descent into Rabbit Valley at the northeastern corner. This map documents a largely unsettled region of the American West, emphasizing the names given to distinctive rock formations and terrain such as Big Rocks and Little Flat Top.
