About this map

Nephi Point stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert portion of Kane County, where the transition between dramatic escarpments is clearly defined. The survey details the geographic relationship between the towering White Cliffs to the northwest and the Vermilion Cliffs further south, illustrating a landscape carved by ephemeral drainages such as Kitchen Corral Wash and Fin Little Wash.

Access through this isolated terrain is primarily marked by Nephi Pasture Rd, which navigates the high ground of Nephi Pasture. The map highlights important water sources in an arid environment, including Wildcat Spring, while naming specific features like Timber Mtn and Fin Little Point. This 2017 survey provides contemporary naming and boundaries for historical canyon systems like Ladder Canyon and Snake Canyon, serving as a modern reference for the enduring topography of southern Utah.
