2023 Map of The Flat Tops

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Flat Tops rise from the arid floor of the San Rafael Desert in Emery County, Utah, providing a distinct profile in a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes. This modern survey illustrates the remote desert terrain, where topographic features like Wildcat Butte and Rattlesnake Butte serve as primary navigational landmarks. The map tracks the passage of Lower San Rafael Rd and several backcountry routes such as Co RD 1011 as they navigate the ridges and washes of the high plateau. Along the southern reaches, the prominent Sweetwater Reef overlooks Sweetwater Spring, a critical water source in this dry environment. The detail captured here reflects the intricate drainages of Dugout Wash and the varied summits of The Big Flat Tops, highlighting how the natural geography dictates the movement of people and livestock across these public lands.
