2023 Map of Solomons Temple

About this map

Capitol Reef National Park marks the southern reach of this landscape, where the high desert terrain of Sevier and Emery counties meet. The map is defined by a network of seasonal drainages, most notably Solomon Creek and Temple Wash, which carve through the arid plateaus. Central to the area is the prominent landmark of Solomons Temple, rising above the surrounding Rock Springs Bench. The northern portion of the quadrangle transitions into the Last Chance Desert, a vast expanse segmented by Last Chance Wash. Scattered water sources such as Jeffery Reservoir, Rock Springs, and Birch Spring suggest the critical importance of water management in this high-altitude desert environment. This survey captures the complex intersection of county boundaries and federal park lands in a region primarily shaped by geological erosion and intermittent water flow.
