About this map

Castle Valley occupies the northwestern corner of this study, where the high-desert floor gives way to the dramatic verticality of the La Sal Mountains. This terrain transition is marked by prominent geological features such as Porcupine Rim and the deep cut of Negro Bill Canyon. The map illustrates the complex drainage systems that flow from the mountains, including Placer Cr and Castle Cr, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns and agricultural viability of the valley.

Elevated mesas and basins define the eastern and southern portions of the quadrangle, including the high-altitude Miners Basin and Warner Lake. Significant recreational and resource land is managed within the Manti-LaSal National Forest, which contains a network of backcountry routes like Loop Rd and Porcupine Ranch Rd. From the volcanic peak of Haystack Mtn to the secluded Lake Oowah, the map documents a landscape of immense relief and varied alpine and desert ecosystems.
