2020 Map of Notom

About this map

Notom sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape where the borders of Wayne and Garfield counties meet. The settlement is defined by a network of local roads including Notom Rd and the Notom Bullfrog Basin Rd, which navigate the complex drainage systems of Sandy Cr and Pleasant Cr. The area is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, moving from the level expanse of Blue Flats and Tergeson Flats up to the high reaches of Thompson Mesa and Wildcat Mesa. A portion of Capitol Reef National Park occupies the southwest, where Fivemile Wash carves through the terrain. For those interested in local genealogy or pioneer history, the Esther Fenn Gravesite is a specific landmark noted near the center of the community, while the colorful naming of Bloody Hands Gap suggests the storied character of the local geography.
