About this map

Separation Peak dominates the southern landscape of this Carbon County quadrangle, standing as a prominent navigational landmark in an area defined by its complex drainage patterns and ridgelines. The land is marked by seasonal water courses such as Separation Cr in the north and the winding path of Sugar Cr which cuts through the central sections. Ranching and land management infrastructure is evident through the presence of Sixteenmile Reservoir and the extensive Twenty Mile Rd, which provides the primary access through this high-desert terrain.

Prominent geological features like Hogback Ridge and the Red Rim suggest the characteristic uplifted formations of the region, while deep incisions like Ram Canyon and Scotty Canyon highlight the erosive force of water over time. The map also identifies local water sources critical for wildlife and livestock, such as Garza Spring, tucked into the higher elevations near the peak. This survey provides a clear view of the area's topography just before the turn of the decade.
