About this map

Cottonwood Canyon Rd serves as the primary corridor through this high-desert landscape in Kane County, Utah. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes between massive plateaus and deeply carved drainages, most notably Slickrock Bench and the narrow passage of Hackberry Canyon. Natural water features, including Snake Cr and Hackberry Cr, provide evidence of the drainage patterns that have sculpted this region over millennia.

Smaller geographic markers such as Jodey Point and Johnson Hole suggest localized landmarks used by ranchers and travelers in an area otherwise dominated by expansive terrain features like Death Valley Draw and the Rush Beds. The division of the landscape into Upper Slickrock and Lower Slickrock highlights the distinct geological shelving characteristic of the southern Utah wilderness. This 2014 survey documents the area's modern spatial layout while preserving the names of historic landmarks and seasonal washes.
