2014 Map of Rill Creek

About this map

Castle Valley and its high desert surroundings are captured in this early 21st-century record of eastern Utah's canyon country. The landscape is defined by massive geological benches and plateaus, most notably Porcupine Rim and Wilson Mesa, which tower over the intricate drainage systems of Rill Cr and N Fork Mill Cr. To the southwest, residential development along the Spanish Valley Dr corridor is visible near Sunset Cem, showing the proximity of modern infrastructure to the base of S Mesa. Local landmarks such as Coffee Pot Rock and the interestingly named Johnsons Up on Top indicate the distinct topographical features used by residents to navigate this complex terrain. The map also traces Us-191 as it skirts the western edge of the mesa lands, providing a clear view of how transportation routes are dictated by the dramatic elevation changes between Jackass Canyon and the valley floor.
