About this map

The Henry Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape, where complex drainage patterns reveal a history of resource exploration across the Garfield and Utah county line. The terrain is marked by numerous prospects and adits, particularly concentrated near Crescent Creek and Copper Creek, indicating the region's enduring mining interest. Natural water sources like Leclerd Spring and the drainage of Raggy Canyon Creek define the habitable zones within this arid environment.

Distinctive geological landmarks such as The Block and Pyserts Hole stand out amongst the network of washes, including Little Egypt Wash and Butler Wash. To the south, Raggy Canyon and Slate Creek provide deep incisions into the plateau, while the presence of a Well and several mine shafts highlights the human effort to tap into the subterranean wealth and scarce water of this high-elevation desert.
