1981 Map of West Clark Bench

About this map

Adairville (Site) marks a point of historical interest along the Paria River on this borderland survey where Utah meets Arizona. The landscape is defined by dramatic geological features such as the Cockscomb and The Rimrocks, while the wide expanse of the West Clark Bench sits between deep canyons and rugged gulches. This 1981 mapping records a remote area utilized for grazing and exploration, evidenced by water infrastructure like Rubin Tank and several named springs including White House Spring and Cat Spring. The inclusion of Johnson Store Butte and Steamboat Rock provides specific landmarks for those navigating the arid terrain between the river and the The Dive. For hikers and local historians, the presence of the Cobra Arch and numerous unnamed jeep trails indicates a region valued for its natural formations and backcountry access.
