2017 Map of The Frying Pan

About this map

The Frying Pan and the surrounding desert landscape of Emery County define this segment of the San Rafael Swell in central Utah. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts across the Moroni Slopes and isolated peaks like Table Mtn and Cedar Mtn. Water management in this arid environment is evident through features such as the Horse Heaven Reservoir and the Moroni Slopes Catchment, which utilize the natural drainage of the land. High points like Horse Heaven Summit provide vantage points over the complex network of canyons and washes, including Chimney Canyon and Last Chance Wash. Scattered water sources like East Cedar Mountain Spring and Corral Canyon Spring indicate the critical locations for life and livestock in a region dominated by deep depressions like Johns Hole and Segers Hole.
