About this map

The Frying Pan and its namesake catchment basin center this topographical study of the Emery County high country. The landscape is defined by massive geographic depressions and ridges, including Segers Hole and Johns Hole to the north and east, while the northern boundary is dominated by the peaks of Cedar Mountain and East Cedar Mountain. These features reflect a dry environment where water management and natural drainage are critical, evidenced by the Frying Pan Catchment and Moroni Slopes Catchment.

Remote roads wind through the drainage systems of Carlyle Wash and Last Chance Wash, providing access to the steep terrain of the Moroni Slopes. The high point of Horse Heaven Summit stands to the southeast, overlooking Corral Canyon. This 2010 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the intricate network of canyons and mesas, such as Table Mountain, that characterize this section of the San Rafael Swell area.
