About this map

The Henry Mountains dominate the western landscape of this Garfield County survey, where the prominent peak of Mt Holmes rises above a complex network of drainages. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the elevated Star Creek Benches and Freds Ridge down into deep incisions like Twomile Canyon and Fourmile Canyon. This area represents a transition into the federally protected lands of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which occupies the eastern and southern portions of the map.

Water sources in this arid environment are highly localized, with Woodruff Spring and Hole Spring providing critical points of interest in the north. The drainage system is particularly intricate, featuring the North Fork Ticaboo Creek, Middle Fork Ticaboo Creek, and several branches of Swett Creek, illustrating how the landscape has been carved over time by these ephemeral and perennial waterways.
