About this map

Sid and Charley rises as a prominent landmark within this San Rafael Swell landscape, characterized by the intricate drainage systems and high plateaus of Emery County. The terrain is defined by a complex network of dry washes and canyons, most notably the deep corridor of Eagle Canyon and the winding paths of Coal Wash, including its North Fork and South Fork. These watercourses have carved through the geological layers, revealing features like The Red Ledges and the isolated heights of Secret Mesa.

Human presence is marked primarily by the Moore Cutoff Rd, which provides a vital link across this high-desert environment. The map details the transition between various basins and hollows, such as Wood Hollow and Red Hole Draw, while Cottonwood Spring suggests a rare reliable water source in an otherwise arid expanse. This survey captures the topographical character of the Utah backcountry as it existed in the early twenty-first century.
