Bird's eye view of the park

Link Flats

It is a rugged, sinuous gorge with numerous short tributary canyons that drain
westward toward Muddy Creek. Pour offs, abrupt changes in the gradient of the
canyon floor are characteristic of the area. The Maguire daisy and Wright
fishhook cactus are listed as endangered and may be found within or near the
WSA. Two threatened plant species, Jones cycladenia and Last Chance townsendia
may also occur in the WSA.

Devils Canyon

The WSA includes a portion of the San Rafael Reef. Muddy Creek, a tributary of
the Dirty Devil River to the south, flows east across the northern portion of
the WSA then south through the eastern portion, and has a deep canyon through
the study area. The south-central portion of the WSA consists of steep mesas.
The southern part of the study area is a mesa bisected by Muddy Creek Canyon,
and is referred to as The Pasture west of the canyon and Keesle Country east
of the canyon.

Muddy Creek

The WSA is characterized by an intricate canyon system which drains northward
into the San Rafael River in the extreme northern portion of the area. The
canyons typically have massive sandstone walls, winding routes, and numerous
small tributary canyons. Above and between the canyons are flat to hilly grass
parks. The western portion of the WSA is rough badlands terrain of colorful,
eroded soils, cliffs, and small mesas.
