About this map

The Hurricane Cliffs dominate this portion of Washington County, Utah, where the dramatic geologic shift of the Hurricane Fault creates a massive vertical transition between the high plateaus and lower desert basins. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Workman Wash and the prominent Gould Reservoir, which collect water in an otherwise arid environment.

Modern infrastructure exists alongside historic paths, seen in the proximity of the Grassy Meadows/Sky Ranch Landowners Association Airport to the Honeymoon Trl. The map illustrates the varied topography from the heights of Little Creek Mtn and the Uinkaret Plateau down to the low-lying Grass Valley. This region, known as The Divide, remains a critical geographical junction where significant landforms like Sand Mtn meet the sweeping descent of the Arizona Strip borderland.
