2014 Map of The Wickiup

About this map

The Wickiup serves as a prominent landmark in this desert expanse of Emery County, Utah, where deep drainages like Sids Draw and Road Hollow cut through the high desert plateaus. The landscape is characterized by a sophisticated system of water management in a dry environment, evidenced by Three Coves Reservoir, Sids Reservoir, and Road Hollow Reservoir. The southern portion of the map transition into the Sinbad Country and the Sinbad Valley, where modern infrastructure meets the desert at the Sinbad Interchange. This 2014 survey documents the rugged cattle-country geography of the San Rafael Swell region, including localized features such as Mexican Seep and Round Knoll Pond that would have been vital points for early ranchers and travelers using routes like Buckhorn Draw Rd.
