About this map

Rainbow sits as a central point of interest in this high-desert landscape, located within the drainage systems of Evacuation Creek and the East Fork Asphalt Wash. The geography is defined by a series of deep incisions and ridges, most notably Long Draw and East Seep Canyon. Prominent landmarks such as Thimble Rock provide clear navigational markers amidst the complex topography of Three Mile Canyon and its namesake Threemile Canyon.

A network of local roads and named routes connects this area, including the Watson Rainbow road and Atchee Ridge Rd. The presence of Dragon Rd and Country Boy Rd suggests a landscape utilized for resource extraction or ranching, where remote access is maintained through specific canyon passages and ridgelines. This modern survey from the U.S. Geological Survey details the contemporary configuration of a region defined by its rugged drainage patterns and isolated settlements.
