1964 Map of Slickrock Bench

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Slickrock Bench and the adjacent Upper Slickrock Bench dominate this part of Kane County as they were surveyed in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by its dramatic erosion patterns, where watercourses like Hackberry Creek have carved deep into the earth to form Hackberry Canyon. Human presence is minimal, marked primarily by a network of jeep trails and a lone Prospect near Rock Springs, suggesting a period of isolated exploration and mineral searching. Notable landmarks such as the Natural Arch and the uniquely named Rush Beds provide specific points of reference in an area otherwise characterized by sweeping plateaus and steep drops. The presence of Upper Death Valley and Death Valley Draw illustrates the harsh nature of this terrain, while Johnson Hole in the south provides a distinct topographical basin where Snake Creek originates.
