About this map

Strawberry Point serves as the dramatic centerpiece of this high-altitude landscape on the Markagunt Plateau, where the geological transition of the Pink Cliffs defines the southern edge of the terrain. This 2020 survey illustrates a region where recreation and remote aviation intersect within the Dixie National Forest. The presence of Strawberry Valley Estates Airport and Swains Creek Airport suggests a specialized pattern of seasonal settlement and accessibility in this high country.

A complex network of trails and forestry roads, such as the Virgin River Rim Trail and Harris Rim Loop, provide access to the numerous canyons and hollows that drop away from the plateau, including Shingle Mill Canyon and Tar Kiln Hollow. The map also identifies critical water sources in this arid high-elevation environment, such as Chokecherry Spring and Hidden Spring, which have historically supported both wildlife and local land use.
