About this map

Roger Peak and the high ridges of Garfield County define this high-altitude landscape. The map centers on the dramatic relief of Hells Backbone Ridge, where the historic Hells Backbone Rd traverses a narrow divide between steep drainages. To the south, the terrain falls away into the Right Fork Death Hollow, while the northern portion is marked by alpine water bodies like Donkey Lake and Mcgath Lake.

Evidence of local land use is centered around King Ranch, situated near the confluence of Sweetwater Creek and the head of Salt Gulch. The complex drainage system includes Sand Creek and Lake Creek, illustrating the intricate watershed of this high plateau country. This map preserves the remote character of the region, showing the relationship between seasonal ranching operations and the challenging geography of the Southern Utah highlands.
