About this map

Sego (Site) occupies a central position within this 1991 survey, reflecting a landscape defined by industrial history and deep canyon drainage. The presence of an Adit and a Cem near the primary settlement site points to the area's mining past, while a network of 4wd tracks provides the only modern access through the intricate terrain. The map is dominated by the convergence of steep-walled systems, most notably Sego Canyon, Thompson Canyon, and Sagers Canyon.

Hydrological features like Sagers Wash, Nash Wash, and Salt Wash illustrate how water has carved the Book Cliffs region. Named landmarks such as Sagers Hat provide orientation for those navigating the branching canyons, including the curiously named Bootlegger Wash. This provisional map captures the transition from active industrial use to a more isolated character, as seen in the documented ruins and trail networks.
