2011 Map of The Wickiup

About this map

The Wickiup serves as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape, where land use is defined by a sparse but critical network of water improvements and dirt tracks. In the early 21st century, the distribution of water features like Three Coves Reservoir, Sids Reservoir, and Road Hollow Reservoir indicates a landscape primarily managed for livestock or local water storage. The presence of Mexican Seep and Round Knoll Pond highlights how geography dictates the few pockets of moisture available in this arid terrain. Transport is dominated by the Buckhorn Draw Rd which winds through the eastern portion of the sheet, connecting diverse topographic features such as Limestone Bench and Sagebrush Bench. The prevalence of named drainage features, including Oil Well Draw and Cottonwood Draw, reflects the historical importance of tracing dry washes for navigation and resource location in Emery County.
