About this map

Water Canyon Peak stands as the dominant summit in this high-altitude landscape within Washington County. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent plateaus and drainage systems, including Pine Park Bench, Big Bench, and the expansive Wide Hollow. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, with named points such as Nephi Spring, Terry Spring, and Dads Spring providing vital geographic anchors alongside Shoal Creek.

Evidence of historical land use and transit is visible through the winding Old Modena Rd and the Crestline Rd, which traverse the northern reaches of the quadrangle. Local landmarks like Rock Hole Corral and Colie Flat suggest a history of ranching or temporary settlement in the draws and canyons. At the southern edge, the Enterprise Reservoir Campground marks a point of recreational transition where Rattlesnake Creek flows through the deepening canyon geography.
