About this map

Manti-LaSal National Forest dominates the western portion of this high-plateau landscape, where dramatic elevation changes define the transition from forest heights down to the desert benches. The southern extent of the map features the Wilberg Mine Memorial near Grimes Wash, marking a site of significant local industrial history and remembrance. A complex network of drainages including Huntington Cr, Fivemile Wash, and Bolden Wash carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic patterns that shaped this part of Emery County.

Water management is evident through the presence of the Cottonwood Cr Huntington Canal in the southeast, supporting agricultural and ranching life on the flats. Named landmarks like Chris Otteson Hollow, Rowley Flat, and Brockbank Hollow speak to the heritage of the families who settled and worked these lands. From the prominent height of Red Point to the broad expanses of Stump Flat and Wilberg Flat, the map details a region where the rugged topography of the Colorado Plateau meets essential water resources.
