2023 Map of Twin Knolls

About this map

San Rafael Swell defines the high-desert character of this Emery County landscape, where deep drainages like Georges Draw and Lane Man Draw carve through the arid terrain. The presence of Home Base and named water catchments such as Lone Parson Hole and The Big Pond suggests a history of localized cattle ranching or mineral exploration in a region otherwise dominated by isolated landmarks. The topography is anchored by prominent elevations including Lone Man Butte, Block Mtn, and the titular Twin Knolls. For researchers, the map traces the critical transit artery of Temple Mt Rd as it moves through various basins, including Indian Flat and Paige Flat. This modern record details how early named features such as Cottonwood Holes and Woodpile Pond remain vital identifiers in the remote Utah interior.
