2017 Map of Red Point

About this map

The Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates the western half of this Emery County landscape, where the high plateau meets the industrial desert. The transition is marked by significant coal infrastructure, including the Des Bee Dove Mine and the Old Wilberg Mine Loop, connected by the heavy-duty Coal Haul Rd. These features reflect the region's long-standing reliance on resource extraction during the early 21st century. To the east, the terrain levels out into expansive benches and flats such as Bony Bench and Wilberg Flat. Notable water management is visible in the southeast corner where the Cottonwood Cr Huntington Canal navigates the arid drainage of Cottonwood Cr. The map also preserves local lineage through nomenclature like Chris Otteson Hollow and Brockbank Hollow, grounding the vast geography in specific family histories.
