About this map

The Iosepa Settlement stands as a focal point of this western Utah landscape, situated in the flats of Skull Valley. This site, significant for its unique cultural history, includes the Iosepa Settlement Cem nearby. To the east, the terrain rises sharply from the valley floor into the Wasatch National Forest and the peaks of the Stansbury Mountains, marked by numerous drainage features such as Big Granite Canyon and Little Pole Canyon.

Water is a defining element in this arid environment, represented by a series of springs and small ponds. Horseshoe Springs and Round Knoll provide landmarks along Skull Valley Rd, while Kanaka Lake and Delle Springs sit further north. The map traces the stark transition from the low-lying valley, where Rock-Bottom Pond is located, to the high-elevation springs like Aspen Spring and Granite Canyon Spring tucked into the mountain folds.
