2014 Map of Old Woman Wash

About this map

Sinbad Country and the jagged edge of the San Rafael Reef dominate this desert landscape, where water dictates the geography of survival and travel. The map highlights the drainage systems of Old Woman Wash and Iron Wash as they cut through the uplifted geology of the San Rafael Swell. Essential water sources for ranchers and early travelers are clearly marked, including Mormon Tanks, Swazy Seep, and Farnsworth Tanks, which were historically critical in the arid San Rafael Desert. Transportation is represented by the path of Ut-24 and the gravel track of Temple Mountain Rd, cutting through the high desert toward Ernie Canyon and Lone Man Draw.
