The San Rafael Swell defines this stretch of Emery County, where the high desert floor is broken by deep canyons and prominent sandstone formations. The prominent San Rafael Knob serves as a central landmark amidst a complex network of drainages including Eagle Canyon and Reds Canyon. This 2017 survey documents the modern intersection of historic routes and geological features, showing the path of Interstate 70 as it bypasses traditional landmarks like Ghost Rock and the Head of Sinbad.
