1983 Map of San Rafael Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

San Rafael Knob dominates this high desert landscape, characterized by complex drainages and stark geologic formations. The area is marked by significant topographical landmarks such as Secret Mesa and the sweeping Head of Sinbad, while narrow corridors like Eagle Canyon and Devils Canyon cut through the terrain. Evidence of early prospector activity is visible in several Mine locations and scattered prospects found near Iron Wash, suggesting a history of mineral exploration in this isolated corner of Emery County. Natural landmarks like Ghost Rock, Dutchman Arch, and the Natural Arch provide essential orientation points for those navigating the numerous unnamed jeep trails. The inclusion of Family Butte and Rods Valley further highlights the distinct local nomenclature used by those who worked and traveled these basins before more modern infrastructure arrived.
