2021 Map of The Rock Slide

About this map

Fossil Butte National Monument occupies the southeastern corner of this map, protecting a prehistoric landscape defined by steep ridges and canyons. The Tunp Range and Dempsey Ridge dominate the central terrain, separated by narrow watercourses like Little Beaver Cr and Rock Creek. The geography here preserves a network of historical waypoints, most notably Emigrant Spring and the named geological feature The Rock Slide. Local travel is marked by ranching and resource roads such as Farm Field Rd and Co Rd 209, which navigate the elevation changes between Schuster Basin and Millet Canyon. This 2021 survey details the complex drainage systems of the High Desert, tracing numerous forks and creeks that flow from Rock Creek Ridge toward the canyon floors.
