2020 Map of Point of Rocks West
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
San Rafael Desert dominates this arid landscape at the border of Emery and Wayne Co. The terrain is characterized by intricate drainage systems and significant elevation changes, most notably at Point of Rocks, which provides a topographical anchor for the surrounding region. The southern reaches are defined by deep cuts into the plateau, including Buck Canyon and Pasture Canyon, revealing the erosive forces that have shaped this portion of Utah. To the west, the Little Antelope Valley offers a distinct geographical break from the desert floor. This 2020 survey is an essential record of the contemporary natural features in a location where the lack of human infrastructure highlights the raw physical geography of the Colorado Plateau.
