About this map

Yellowhorse Flat occupies a broad high-desert landscape along the Arizona-Utah border, south of St. George. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between alluvial basins and prominent plateaus like West Mesa and East Mesa. Significant water drainage patterns are visible through the complex networks of Fort Pearce Wash and Hurricane Wash, which illustrate the erosion-carved nature of this arid region.

Named topographical markers provide essential points of reference for local history and land use, including Joe Blake Hill and the distinctive Little Black Mtn in the northwest corner. Small-scale hydrological features such as Blake Pond and the branching paths of Dutchman Draw and Quail Draw reveal the scarce but critical water resources that dictated movement and grazing across these township sections in the early 21st century.
