2017 Map of Slate Jack Canyon

About this map

Goshen Valley and the northern reaches of Long Ridge define the landscape of this 2017 survey along the border of Utah and Juab counties. This transition from the valley floor into the eastern West Hills is marked by a complex network of drainages and named canyons, including the prominent Slate Jack Canyon and the uniquely named Goosenest Canyon. Small-scale water sources are vital features in this arid environment, with mapped locations such as Slate Jack Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Lunt-Lattimer Spring indicating the importance of reliable water for land management and early settlement. Along the eastern edge of the ridge, the Mona Reservoir serves as a major landmark near the Swasey Family Cem, highlighting the area's genealogical roots. The terrain is further distinguished by the geological formations of The Devils Steps and the secluded basin of Dog Valley.
