2011 Map of Wagon Box Mesa

About this map

Wagon Box Mesa stands as a central topographic feature in this arid section of Garfield County, where the high desert is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and deeply incised canyons. The landscape is navigated via the Burr Trl and the Capitol Reef National Park Rd, which provide access through the complex drainage systems of Moody Creek and the North Fork Silver Falls Creek. Prominent landmarks such as Peak-a-boo Rock and the Studhorse Peaks rise above the surrounding terrain, serving as essential visual waypoints. The northeastern corner of the map shows the transition into Swap Canyon and Burr Canyon, following the path of Halls Creek. This 2011 survey documents the established backcountry routes and hydrological features of this remote Utah territory, mapping the precise course of canyons and washes that dictate movement through the region.
