About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape in Emery County, characterized by a complex network of swales, canyons, and plateaus. Significant topographical landmarks like N Horn Mtn and S Horn Mtn anchor the terrain, while drainage systems such as Rock Canyon Cr and Daniels Canyon have carved deep incisions through the earth. The management of water in this arid environment is evident through several small impoundments and catchments, including Baseball Pond, the Long Point Number 3 Reservoir, and W Clawson Reservoir. Names like Reid and Nielson Swale and Jewkes Hollow suggest the area's history of grazing and ranching. Access is primarily limited to rugged routes like Rock Canyon Rd, which traverses the eastern slopes near the Indian Trail Bench.
