About this map

The Henry Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Garfield County, Utah, where a complex network of dry washes and seasonal creeks has carved a labyrinthine topography. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological features such as The Black and Little Egypt, illustrating the unique erosional patterns of the Colorado Plateau. Water remains the primary architect of the land, with Crescent Cr and Seep Wash winding through the canyons, while Lecleed Spring provides a rare point of permanent water in an otherwise arid expanse.

Remote and characterized by vast open flats like Lone Cedar Flat, the map reveals a wilderness that has challenged travelers for generations. Named landmarks such as Pyserts Hole and Raggy Canyon point to a history of local exploration and the naming of specific topographic traps and shelters. The drainage systems of Cottonwood Wash and the South Fork North Wash highlight the intricate hydrography that defines movement through these canyons.
