About this map

Neponset Reservoir and the drainage of Saleratus Creek dominate this high-desert landscape in Rich County. The area is characterized by a network of ranching roads and canyons, including Meachum Canyon, Home Canyon, and several hollows like Ashton Hollow and Cabin Hollow. The presence of water sources such as Eagle Springs and Blue Grass Pond amidst the dry terrain highlights the critical importance of water management in this part of Utah. Man-made infrastructure, such as the Co-Op Ditch and the S Main Ranch Way, underscores the enduring ranching economy. Prominent landforms like Red Hill and the broad Big Meadow provide geographical context for the various grazing lands and corridors that have shaped the local history of land use in the early twenty-first century.
