About this map

Wattis Junction and Wattis Siding anchor the southwest corner of this Carbon County landscape, illustrating the critical transportation infrastructure at the foot of the Wasatch Plateau. The map reveals a complex network of high-desert terrain characterized by prominent landforms such as Porphyry Bench, Long Bench, and Bull Mesa. These flat-topped elevations are bisected by deep drainage systems like Pinnacle Canyon and Haley Canyon, which funnel seasonal waters into Serviceberry Creek and Gordon Creek.

In the north, Gordon Creek Station serves as a lone point of interest along the drainage of South Fork Gordon Creek, while the prominent summit of Pinnacle Peak stands as a landmark above Pinnacle Wash. The area is interlaced with specialized access roads such as Trestle Rd and Guzzler Bench Rd, reflecting the regional reliance on resource extraction and livestock management in this arid Utah corridor.
