2017 Map of Turkey Knob

About this map

Turkey Knob stands as a central landmark in this high-desert region of Garfield County, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems and prominent plateaus. The topography is marked by significant elevation changes between features like Trachyte Point and Cedar Point, which overlook a series of erosional washes. These corridors, including Cottonwood Wash, Death Canyon, and Butler Wash, dictate the natural movement across the terrain. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the Lone Cedar Reservoir situated on Lone Cedar Flat. The alignment of State Route 95 and State Route 276 follows these natural contours, illustrating how modern transportation routes in Utah's canyon country are constrained by the ancient geography of Dry Lake Swale and Seep Wash.
