1986 Map of The Flat Tops

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Flat Tops and The Big Flat Tops dominate this high desert landscape on the border of Emery and Wayne counties. The terrain is defined by isolated formations like Wildcat Butte, Rattlesnake Butte, and Little Flat Top, which rise above a network of drainages and seasonal water sources. The map identifies Sweetwater Spring and the Sweetwater Wash, critical points of interest in an arid environment where water dictates the location of human activity. Evidence of ranching and early resource exploration is seen in the notation of a Dugout and several drill holes marked as "DH." To the south, the geological transition is marked by the Reef and Spire Point, showing a complex system of cliffs and canyons. This provisional survey captures the area as it was documented through field checks in the mid-1980s, preserving a record of the remote back-country before modern digital updates.
