About this map

Dixie National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where a network of remote springs and lakes sustains the high desert environment. Centered on Posy Lake and the nearby Posy Spring, the geography is marked by deep drainage basins and prominent hollows. High-country access is facilitated by primitive routes like Forest Rd 154 and the notable Hells Backbone Rd, which traverses the eastern heights above The Box.

Hydrological features are sparse but significant, ranging from the seasonally variable Dry Lake and Green Lake in the north to the more permanent waters of Cyclone Lake. The landscape reveals a pattern of named landmarks such as John Allen Bottom and Bullberry Hollow, which likely served as important reference points for early ranching or forest management. The descent toward Death Hollow in the southeast suggests the beginning of the dramatic canyon country typical of this region of Garfield County.
