2011 Map of Upper Valley

About this map

Upper Valley dominates this Garfield County landscape, defined by a complex drainage system where Upper Valley Creek and Allen Creek carve through the high plateaus. The topography is marked by distinct geographical transitions, from the northern reaches of Yankee Meadow and Heaps Canyon to the southern formations of The Blues and the South Rim. Water remains the critical factor in this environment, evidenced by the presence of Garden Spring and Pole Spring, which provide vital points of interest in an otherwise arid expanse. The road network is sparse, with Allen Canyon Rd and a main route following the valley floor, connecting the scattered flats and hollows like Liston Flat and South Hollow. This 2011 survey highlights the intersection of seasonal drainages, including Dead Mare Wash and Henrieville Creek, illustrating the natural corridors that have historically dictated movement through this part of Utah.
