1988 Map of The Knoll

About this map

Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park define the southern reaches of this high desert plateau, where the landscape is marked by dramatic drainages and grazing lands. The topography is dominated by the expansive Big Flat, a relatively level upland punctuated by the eponymous The Knoll and the Big Flat Reservoir. This area reflects the mid-to-late 20th-century intersection of recreation, ranching, and resource exploration, evidenced by scattered Drill Holes across the flats.
