About this map

Dixie National Forest dominates this section of the Utah landscape, where the high elevations of the Paunsaugunt Plateau meet a complex network of drainage systems. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological formations, including the Sunset Cliffs and the deep incisions of Wilson Canyon and Hillsdale Canyon. Waterways such as Blue Fly Creek and the curiously named Butch Cassidy Draw carve through the plateau, illustrating the erosional forces at work in Garfield County.

Human presence is marked by a transition from managed forest lands to local infrastructure, visible in the alignment of E Hillsdale Cemetery Rd and Hillsdale Canyon Rd. The map documents an extensive recreational network, including the Thunder Mountain Trl and Red-Canyon-Bike-Trl, which navigate the elevation changes near Wilson Peak. The inclusion of Brigham Young Dr in the northern reach reflects the cultural and historical naming conventions of the region.
