2017 Map of Slickrock Bench

About this map

Slickrock Bench serves as the focal point for this 2017 survey of the Kane County landscape, where the high desert is defined by a complex network of seasonal drainages and named landmarks. The geography is dominated by notable canyons and draws, including the serpentine path of Hackberry Canyon and the convergence of Death Valley Draw and Upper Death Valley. These natural corridors have historically dictated movement through the region, now tracked by routes such as Cottonwood Canyon Rd. Significant terrain features like Johnson Hole and Jodey Point provide specific reference points for land management and navigation. The presence of Round Valley Seep and various creek beds like Rock Springs Cr highlights the sparse but critical water sources that sustain this arid environment.
