2023 Map of Piute Knoll

About this map

Piute Knoll and Hickman Flat characterize this high-desert landscape situated along the border of Utah and Colorado. The map documents a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs, essential for any understanding of land use in this arid region. Numerous water sources are identified, including Secret Springs, Summit Spring, and Ingram Spring, which likely supported early ranching efforts. Significant topographic features like Wildhorse Canyon and Summit Canyon cut through the terrain, while Pearson Wash provides a broad drainage path to the west. The area is intersected by a grid of county roads such as W Summit Rd and Co Rd 370, illustrating the modern management of this remote borderland. The presence of Snyder Reservoir Number Two in the southern portion suggests managed water resources for livestock or local agriculture.
