2020 Map of Turkey Knob

About this map

Turkey Knob stands as a central high point in this Garfield County landscape, where the drainage systems of the Colorado River plateau define the terrain. The northern reaches are shaped by the deep cuts of Poison Spring Canyon and Butler Wash, while the western edge is marked by the distinct level expanse of Lone Cedar Flat and the adjacent Lone Cedar Reservoir. This 2020 survey reveals a land of dramatic topographic relief, where prominent overlooks like Cedar Point and Trachyte Point provide vantage points over the complex network of dry washes and canyons. The mapping of Death Canyon and Cottonwood Wash illustrates the hydrological patterns of this arid environment, showing how seasonal water flow has carved the surface into a series of points, knobs, and swales, including the notable Dry Lake Swale.
