2011 Map of Sids Mountain

About this map

The San Rafael River carves a deep path through this portion of Emery County, defining a landscape dominated by dramatic high-desert formations and seasonal drainages. In the north, Fuller Bottom serves as a key low point for the river near the end of Fullers Bottom Rd, while the massive plateau of The Wedge overlooks the winding watercourse. The map documents the intricate network of canyons that feed into the main river system, including Saddle Horse Canyon, McCarty Canyon, and the appropriately named Little Grand Canyon. To the south, the prominent rise of Sids Mountain and the isolated mass of No Mans Mountain stand above the drainage basins of North Salt Wash and Mesquite Wash. This terrain is further marked by the high contrast of the Chalk Hills and the striking boundary of The Red Ledges on the western edge.
