About this map

Limestone Cliffs dominate the southwestern corner of this high-desert landscape where Sevier and Emery counties meet. The area is defined by a series of dramatic canyon systems and washes, including Indian Canyon and the winding Willow Springs Wash. Sparse human activity is concentrated at Jims Farm in the northwest, while the rest of the quadrangle reveals a rugged, arid environment characterized by expansive level areas like Clay Flats and the Blue Flats.

A network of remote roads, such as the Last Chance Rd and Albrech Reservation Rd, provides access across the transition from the Last Chance Desert to the northern hollows. The presence of Willow Springs and several seasonal drainages like Mussentuchit Wash suggests the critical importance of water sources in this dry Utah territory. This survey documents the intersection of large-scale geological formations and the minimal infrastructure required to navigate them.
