About this map

North Caineville Mesa and South Caineville Mesa dominate the desert landscape of Wayne County in this 2010 topographic survey. The Fremont River carves a path through the northern sector, passing the Blue Gate and drawing in seasonal drainage from Neilson Wash. The arid terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably at Town Point and along the Oak Creek Ridge.

Transport through this isolated region is limited to the corridor following the river, including the appropriately named Coal Mine Rd, which provides access toward the Upper Blue Hills. Hydrological patterns are clearly marked by the winding courses of Sweetwater Creek and Oak Creek as they traverse the alkaline flats and steep mesa slopes, offering a detailed view of the natural drainage network before it joins the larger river system.
