About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest defines the high-country landscape of this Emery County region, where the prominent elevations of North Horn Mtn and South Horn Mtn overlook a complex network of canyons and hollows. The terrain is marked by seasonal water sources and livestock management features, including the aptly named Baseball Pond and Barewire Pond. Named swales like Reid and Nielson Swale and Clay Banks Swale suggest a history of grazing and land use by local families, while drainage systems such as Rock Canyon Cr flow through deeply incised features like Killpack Canyon. Modern water management is evident in the West Clawson Reservoir and Long Point Number 3 Reservoir, which serve the arid surroundings. This high plateau area transitions from the flat expanse of Indian Trail Bench to the steep ridges of Biddlecome Ridge, reflecting the geological complexity of the Wasatch Plateau's eastern edge.
