1987 Map of Pine Hollow Canyon

About this map

Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness defines the southeastern portion of this map, straddling the state line between Utah and Arizona. The dramatic geological uplift of The Cockscomb runs north-to-south, creating a sharp natural barrier and directing the drainage of ephemeral watercourses like Buckskin Gulch and Coyote Wash. Human infrastructure is sparse in this high-desert environment, evidenced by the presence of a few 4 WD tracks, a prominent Trans Line, and an Aqueduct crossing Telegraph Wash near Five Mile Mountain. Water management for livestock or local use is reflected in features such as Adams Reservoir and Bull Pasture Reservoirs, while a lone Radio Tower stands as a landmark on the northern heights. The map details the intricate drainage networks of Pine Hollow Canyon and Horse Canyon, illustrating the complex erosion patterns typical of the Paria plateau before the arrival of significant modern development.
