1986 Map of Point of Rocks West

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Point of Rocks stands as a prominent topographical landmark in this high desert landscape, situated near the boundary where Emery Co meets Wayne Co. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems and deep cuts, including Buck Canyon and Pasture Canyon in the southern reaches. These features reflect the complex erosion patterns of the Colorado Plateau, where seasonal water flow through Blackburn Draw and Little Antelope Valley shapes the arid environment. A portion of the Dirty Devil river system appears at the bottom edge, providing a crucial water reference in a region characterized by its lack of permanent settlements. This 1980s field-checked survey documents the area's primitive transportation network, consisting primarily of unimproved 4WD tracks that navigate the ridges and canyon floors between these geologic formations.
