2010 Map of Raggy Canyon

About this map

The eastern foothills of the Henry Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Garfield County. Water is the primary architect of the geography here, defined by an intricate network of drainages including Crescent Creek, Butler Wash, and Copper Creek that carve through the arid terrain. Key water sources like Lecleed Spring provided essential relief in a region where named landmarks such as Little Egypt and Pyserts Hole speak to the unique geologic formations and historical human presence in the backcountry. The map details the transition from the high Poison Spring Benches down through steep-walled corridors like Raggy Canyon and Trail Canyon. These features illustrate the difficult travel routes and land-use patterns common in the remote canyon country of southern Utah, where every spring and passable wash was critical for survival and navigation.
