The San Rafael Swell dominates this landscape, where the dramatic transition of the San Rafael Reef separates the elevated swell from the lower San Rafael Desert. This arid environment is defined by its essential water catchments and ephemeral drainages, including the Mormon Tanks, Farnsworth Tanks, and Swazy Seep. These features reflect the long history of managing water in the desert for livestock and travel.
