About this map

The Pink Cliffs dominate this portion of the Dixie National Forest, where the high elevations of the Markagunt Plateau break away into a labyrinth of canyons and gulches. This 2002 revision, based on surveys from the mid-to-late 20th century, highlights the intricate drainage patterns of the Strawberry Creek and Willis Creek watersheds. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with named features such as Strawberry Point and Pine Knoll providing significant overlooks above the surrounding terrain.

Evidence of human activity is sparse but notable, including a remote Landing Strip on the northeastern plateau and a network of 4WD trails traversing areas like Orderville Gulch. Named water sources, including Chokecherry Spring, Trough Spring, and Hidden Spring, point to the critical role of water for livestock and wildlife in this high-desert forest environment. The map also delineates the Cedar City Ranger District boundary, marking the administrative oversight of these lands.
