About this map

Roger Peak and the high-altitude plateaus of the Dixie National Forest dominate this Garfield County landscape, defined by a dramatic network of canyons and drainage systems. The survey highlights the complex terrain surrounding Death Hollow and its various branches, including the Right Fork Death Hollow. This area is characterized by steep elevation changes where water bodies like Mc Gath Lake and Donkey Lake sit above deep incisions in the earth.

Human presence is sparse and concentrated along the periphery, with King Ranch serving as a notable point of settlement. The winding Hells Backbone Rd and Salt Gulch Rd provide the primary access through this remote environment, connecting landmarks like Hells Backbone Ridge and Mt Ogden. Local-history researchers can trace the relationship between these early transportation routes and topographical features such as Slickrock Saddle Bench and King Bench.
