About this map

Thunder Mountain and the high elevations of the Paunsaugunt Plateau dominate this landscape within the Dixie National Forest. The map documents a rugged network of drainages and dramatic geological features, most notably the Sunset Cliffs and the deep incisions of Red Canyon. This area carries the folklore of the Old West, specifically through the naming of Butch Cassidy Canyon and Butch Cassidy Draw.

Modern infrastructure such as the All American Road Highway 12 provides access to the northern reaches, while the interior remains defined by primitive paths like the Grand View Trail and the Pink Ledges Trail. Small-scale historical activity is evidenced by scattered Prospects and a Communication Site atop Wilson Peak 9034. Water sources are vital but sparse, represented by the Sevier River and the branching system of Bluefly Creek.
