About this map

The San Rafael Swell defines the arid topography of this Emery County landscape, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. Significant catchments and reservoirs, such as the Horse Heaven Reservoir and the Frying Pan Catchment, highlight the vital importance of capturing runoff in this high-desert environment. The namesake feature, The Frying Pan, sits adjacent to Table Mtn, a testament to the complex erosional patterns that have shaped the region.

Strategic water sources like East Cedar Mountain Spring PB 64 and Corral Canyon Spring provide rare points of relief across the desert floor. The map traces the natural drainage systems of Carlyle Wash, Corral Canyon, and Last Chance Wash, while prominent elevations including East Cedar Mtn and Horse Heaven Summit offer clear landmarks for navigation. From the depths of Segers Hole to the heights of the Moroni Slopes, this survey documents a land where geography dictates survival.
