2017 Map of Point of Rocks West

About this map

San Rafael Desert dominates this high-plateau landscape, characterized by the dramatic topography of Point of Rocks and the deep incisions of Buck Canyon and Pasture Canyon. This survey, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, captures a remote corner of Emery County at the boundary of Wayne County. The arid terrain is marked by the expansive Little Antelope Valley to the west, while a sparse network of access routes like River Overlook Rd and S Square Rd provides the only infrastructure through these public lands. The map illustrates the township and range system, showing the grid of t27s r13e and surrounding sections that define land management in this part of the American West.
