About this map

Dixie National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County, where the eastern edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau drops away into a complex network of canyons and cliffs. The terrain is marked by significant geological features including Red Canyon and the Sunset Cliffs, alongside family-named landmarks such as Wilson Canyon and Johnson Canyon. This 2017 survey reveals an extensive modern recreation network woven through the wilderness, including the Red Canyon Bike Trail, Thunder Mountain Trail, and the Cassidy Trail.

A notable historical through-line is found in the western portion of the sheet near E Hillsdale Cemetery Rd, pointing to the area's early settlement roots. The map traces the rugged drainage patterns of the Blue Fly Cr and its various forks, while the presence of Butch Cassidy Draw provides a geographic link to regional outlaw lore. The mix of named hollows like Ahlstrom Hollow and Corral Hollow suggests a history of ranching and livestock movement across the plateau.
