About this map

North Horn Mountain and South Horn Mountain define the high terrain of this region in central Utah. The landscape is marked by a complex network of canyons and ridges, including Daniels Canyon and the prominent Long Ridge, which separates the drainages of Rock Canyon Creek. This 2011 survey reveals an environment where resource extraction and water management are central to the land use.

Industrial sites such as the Killpack Mine and Anderson Mine are situated near the headwaters of deep-cut drainages like Killpack Canyon. Evidence of high-country ranching or recreation is found in curious labels like Baseball Pond and Baseball Spring near the landmark known as The Cap. Water storage is critical in this arid terrain, as seen in the presence of the West Clawson Reservoir and the Long Point Number 3 Reservoir.
