About this map

The San Rafael River carves a deep path through this 1953 topographic study of the San Rafael Swell in central Utah. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and named plateaus, including Prickly Pear Flat, Big Flat, and Jackass Flat. This preliminary edition highlights the intricate drainage systems that feed into the river, such as Cottonwood Canyon and Spring Canyon, along with various washes and draws like Back Wash and Oil Well Draw.
