2014 Map of Mount Holmes

About this map

Mt Holmes and the Little Rockies dominate this high-desert landscape in Garfield County, showcasing a complex network of drainages and rugged elevation changes just west of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The map details a transition from the volcanic peaks of the Henry Mountains, including Mt Ellsworth in the south, to the expansive flats of the Star Creek Benches. Geographic interest is centered on the deep incisions of Woodruff Canyon and Twomile Canyon, alongside the isolated Hoskinnini Monument. In this arid environment, reliable water sources like Woodruff Spring and Hole Spring are clearly marked, providing critical points of reference for those navigating the terrain near Ut-276. The drainage systems of Ticaboo Cr and Swett Cr define the lower elevations, illustrating the erosional patterns that have shaped this portion of the Colorado Plateau.
