About this map

McPherson Range and the high plateaus of Grand County define this 2023 survey of eastern Utah's high desert. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent finger ridges, most notably Post Canyon Ridge, Spring Creek Ridge, and Steer Ridge, which separate deeply incised drainage systems. These canyons, such as Beaver Canyon and Jennie Canyon, provide the primary relief in an otherwise upland environment centered on the geographic landmark of Walker Point.

Water sources are scarce but significant for local history and topography, marked by isolated points like Little Mountain Spring, Bolon Spring, and Florence Spring. The map traces the upper reaches of several vital waterways, including Hill Creek and its West Fork Hill Creek, which have carved out the Nelson Draw and surrounding basins. To the south, Wagon Road Ridge suggests historical transit routes through this complex terrain near Wilcox Point.
