2017 Map of Solomons Temple

About this map

Capitol Reef National Park dominates the southern portion of this landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the protected geologic formations of the Waterpocket Fold region. The map reveals a network of seasonal watercourses and springs that define local geography, including the Last Chance Wash and Rock Springs Wash, which drain the expansive Last Chance Desert to the north. Named landmarks like Solomons Temple and Jones Bench provide essential orientation in this arid environment, where water sources such as Birch Spring and Jeffery Reservoir were historically vital for livestock and early ranching efforts. Remote routes like Baker Ranch Road and Cathedral Road trace the edges of the Middle Desert, illustrating the sparse but critical infrastructure connecting these remote canyons and plateaus along the borders of Sevier, Emery, and Wayne counties.
