2020 Map of Wattis

About this map

Wattis sits at the foot of the Wasatch Plateau, serving as a focal point for this survey along the border of Carbon and Emery counties. The landscape is defined by its high-altitude topography, where Gentry Mtn and Hoag Ridge overlook the transition from the Manti-La Sal National Forest to the mining-influenced lowlands. The distribution of infrastructure, including the Wattis Hwy and the Star Point Mine Rd, reflects the area's industrial legacy, connecting the mountain benches to the drainages of Serviceberry Cr and Right Fork Miller Cr. Researchers can trace the complex network of ridge-top trails and access roads such as Telephone Bench Rd and Benches Rd, which traverse features like Lone Pine Tree Ridge and Wiregrass Bench. This 2020 edition provides a clear record of the modern terrain, from the sharp drops of The Steeps to the remote expanses of North Spring Canyon.
