About this map

Rex Reservoir and the nearby Rex Dam anchor the eastern drainage of this Sevier County high-country landscape, where seasonal water sources and named flats define the local geography. The territory is marked by a legacy of grazing and early settlement, evidenced by the Durfrey Homestead in the southwest and family-named landmarks like Scorups Meadows and Josiah Springs.

Transport is dictated by the rugged contours of the land, with Lost Creek Rd following its namesake waterway through the center of the sheet. Unusual place names such as Purgatory, Kumo Valley, and Dipping Vat Draw suggest a colorful history of livestock management and backcountry navigation. The prevalence of features like Blue Jay Flat and Pinenuts Flat highlights the distinct vegetation and plateau-style terrain that characterizes this portion of the Utah interior.
