About this map

Goshen Valley and the West Hills define this high-desert landscape along the border of Utah and Juab counties. The terrain is marked by a complex system of drainage and relief, ranging from the prominent Long Ridge to the deep incisions of Slate Jack Canyon and Goosenest Canyon. Water sources are critical landmarks in this environment, evidenced by Cottonwood Spring, Saint-Lattimer Spring, and the reach of Kimball Cr.

Cultural history is anchored by the Swasey Family Cem on the eastern edge of the survey near Mona Reservoir. Local nomenclature reveals a history of land use and navigation through places like Dog Valley and the descriptively named The Devils Steps. The road network, including Goshen Rd and Bird Farm, traces the more accessible lowlands, connecting the dispersed agricultural and natural features of the Great Basin transition.
