2023 Map of Point of Rocks West

About this map

San Rafael Desert dominates this arid landscape, showing the complex drainage systems of Wayne County in the early 21st century. The topographic data reveals the dramatic transition from the plateau-like expanse of Little Antelope Valley to the deeply incised paths of Buck Canyon and Pasture Canyon. These geological features illustrate the erosional forces that have shaped this portion of Utah over millennia. Along the southern edge, the Dirty Devil River follows a winding course, joined by seasonal drainages such as Blackburn Draw. The absence of developed infrastructure or settlements reflects the enduring wilderness character of this region, which remains largely defined by its natural watercourses and rugged desert terrain.
