About this map

Wattis sits on the eastern edge of the Manti-LaSal National Forest, serving as a focal point in a landscape defined by deep canyons and high plateaus. The topography is dominated by massive flat-topped features like Horse Bench and Long Bench, which overlook complex drainage systems including Mud Water Canyon and Los Angeles Canyon. These natural corridors dictate the layout of local infrastructure, such as the Wattis Rd and Gentry Mountain Rd, which provide access to the high elevations of Gentry Mtn.

The presence of the Carbon and Emery County line running through this area highlights the intersection of public forest land and the resource-rich Wasatch Plateau. Local landmarks like Star Point and The Steeps emphasize the dramatic elevation changes that characterize this portion of Utah. Water features including Serviceberry Cr and the Right Fork Miller Cr trace the lower elevations, while ridges like Hoag Ridge and Castle Valley Ridge form the literal backbone of the high country.
