2023 Map of West Clark Bench

About this map

The Adairville Cem sits as a quiet historical marker in this desert landscape where the borders of Utah and Arizona meet. This high plateau region is defined by the massive West Clark Bench and the carved path of the Paria River, which winds southward toward the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The map reveals a complex network of topographical features, from the sharp ridges of The Cockscomb to the deep recesses of Buckskin Gulch. Transport through the area follows established corridors like House Rock Valley Rd and New Paria Rd, connecting scattered water sources such as White House Spring and Calf Spring. These landmarks and the various valleys, including Fivemile Valley and Long Canyon, illustrate the geological scale of the Colorado Plateau and its influence on local movement and naming.
