2014 Map of The Cap

About this map

North Horn Mtn and South Horn Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Manti-LaSal National Forest. The map documents a complex system of drainage and water management necessary for the arid high country of Emery County, featuring sites like Long Point Number 3 Reservoir and W Clawson Reservoir. Named landmarks such as The Cap and Long Ridge dominate the central terrain, while numerous swales and hollows suggest a long history of grazing and transit through the mountains. Local history is etched into the landscape through family-named features like Reid and Nielson Swale, Jewkes Hollow, and Biddlecome Hollow. This survey captures the intersection of natural topography and human infrastructure, from the Diversion Hollow to secluded water sources like Baseball Spring and Barewire Pond.
