2023 Map of Wide Hollow Reservoir

About this map

Wide Hollow Reservoir serves as a focal point for water management in this arid stretch of Garfield County, where the desert floor meets the rising timber of the Dixie National Forest. The landscape is defined by the convergence of drainage systems including North Creek and Birch Creek, which feed toward the Escalante River at the southern edge of the quadrangle. High-country routes like the Varney Griffin Trl and the Snowmobile Trl navigate the northern elevations, while the Box-Death Hollow Wilderness preserves the undisturbed character of the northeastern canyons. Lower elevations transition into the Little Desert, revealing a complex network of canyons such as Meadow Canyon and Little Valley Canyon that have long influenced movement and livestock grazing in the region.
