2010 Map of Turkey Knob

About this map

Turkey Knob stands as a central topographic feature in this arid landscape of Garfield County, where drainage systems and high plateaus dictate the geography. The map reveals a sophisticated network of ephemeral watercourses, notably North Wash, Butler Wash, and Cottonwood Wash, which carve through the terrain. Human modification of the environment is represented by the Lone Cedar Reservoir situated on the Lone Cedar Flat, a vital catchment in an area otherwise dominated by desert features. The road system, including Highway 95 and Highway 276, follows the natural contours of the land, navigating between the Poison Spring Benches and deeper incisions like Death Canyon. This 2010 survey provides a clear look at the intersection of modern transportation routes and prehistoric geological formations such as Trachyte Point and Butler Canyon.
