2011 Map of Wilson Peak

About this map

Wilson Peak stands as a central landmark in this high-elevation corner of Garfield County, where a network of deeply incised drainages shapes the landscape. The northern edge is dominated by Red Canyon and its associated Red Canyon Campground, situated along a route designated as a Scenic Dr. This area, managed by the U.S. Forest Service, reveals the complex drainage patterns of the Sevier River and its tributaries, including the branching forks of Blue Fly Creek. Significant topographic variations are reflected in labels like Butch Cassidy Draw, Corral Hollow, and Cabin Hollow, names that echo the ranching and frontier history of southern Utah. The map traces numerous forest roads and trails that navigate the steep terrain between Wilson Canyon and Hillsdale Canyon, providing a precise look at the backcountry infrastructure at the start of the 21st century.
