About this map

Dixie National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County, where the topography transitions from the dramatic Table Cliff Plateau down through the Upper Valley. The survey captures a moment of resource management and early energy exploration, evidenced by the Upper Valley Guard Station and an isolated Oil Well near Pet Hollow. The drainage network is complex, with Henrieville Cr and Paria Creek carving through the colorful geologic formations of The Blues.

Logistics in this terrain relied on a network of springs and established paths, including the Water Trail and Pack Trail, which provided essential routes through steep canyons like Heaps Canyon. The presence of several water sources, such as Yankee Mdw Spring and Garden Spring, highlights the critical infrastructure for both forestry personnel and local livestock operations in this arid mountain environment.
