About this map

Escalante Mountains and the Table Cliff Plateau define the high-elevation landscape of this region within the Dixie National Forest. The map detail follows the drainage systems of the Upper Valley Cr and Henrieville Cr, which carve through varied terrain including Dead Mare Wash and the distinctively named The Blues. Small settlements and seasonal locations like Yankee Meadow and Upper Valley are connected by a network of backcountry routes, including the Allen Canyon Rd and the Great Western ATV Trail.

The topography transitions from the steep escarpments of the South Rim to the broad expanse of Liston Flat. Water sources are critical markers in this arid landscape, noted by labels for Garden Spring, Pole Spring, and Willow Spring. This survey records the contemporary management of the land through numerous township and range boundaries and Public Land Survey System partitions, illustrating the modern spatial organization of Garfield County's backcountry.
