2020 Map of Twin Rocks

About this map

Capitol Reef National Park and the Fishlake National Forest define this high-desert landscape in Wayne County. The map details the transition from the high elevations of Cooks Mesa and Meeks Mesa down into the canyon systems carved by the Fremont River and Sulphur Creek. Historical settlement is represented by Fruita, while the topography includes distinctive geological formations like The Castle and Mummy Cliff. Notable landforms such as Goosenecks and Sunset Point overlook the intricate drainage patterns of Spring Canyon and Wide Hollow. The convergence of Utah 24 and the Scenic Drive facilitates access through this complex terrain, passing landmarks like Chimney Rock and The Motorman. Researchers can trace the varied network of watercourses, including Carcass Cr and Fish Cr, which have shaped the local geography and historical land use patterns on the Beas Lewis Flats.
