Sids Cabin

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.

Sids Mountain

The WSA is characterized by features resulting from erosion of the multi-
colored sedimentary rocks of the eastern San Rafael Swell, including the
slopes of the San Rafael Reef on the eastern edge of the WSA: vertical cliffs,
buttes, ridges, alcoves, and pinnacles. The San Rafael River has cut deeply in
the southeastern portion of the WSA to form narrow, deep canyons known as the
Upper and Lower Black boxes. Large isolated erosion remnants such as Mexican
Mountain are distinctive in the southeastern part of the WSA. The ruggedness
of the terrain contributes to its suitability as nesting habitat for raptors,
such as golden eagle and prairie falcon, habitat for desert bighorn sheep, and
scenic interest. The San Rafael River runs through the WSA, cutting deep
canyons and providing an important perennial water source with its riparian
vegetation.

Mexican Mountain

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

Links Flats was designated an instant study area for it's supplemental values
related to a wild horse ranges, scenic values, and an associated plat
population which at one point was thought to be ungrazed.
