1986 Map of Point of Rocks West

About this map

The Dirty Devil River carves through the southeast corner of this Emery and Wayne County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by deep drainages and sharp escarpments. This 1986 survey documents a network of 4wd routes that navigate the complex topography, connecting remote landmarks such as Point of Rocks to the intricate canyon systems below. The map reveals the stark physical geography of the region, where broad expanses like Little Antelope Valley and Blackburn Draw provide the primary corridors for travel. Further south, the terrain becomes increasingly fractured as Buck Canyon and Pasture Canyon descend toward the river, illustrating the erosional patterns characteristic of this part of southern Utah.
