2023 Map of Alcove Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominates this section of the Colorado Plateau, where the rising waters of Lake Powell meet the convoluted topography of southeastern Utah. The map traces the winding course of the San Juan River as it approaches its confluence with the Colorado River, specifically highlighting the massive horseshoe turn at the Great Bend of the San Juan River. This landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, from the high, flat expanses of Wilson Mesa and Grey Mesa to the deeply incised drainages of Alcove Canyon and Iceberg Canyon. Near the southern edge, the San Juan Valley provides a rare low-lying floor amidst the surrounding canyon walls and mesas like Red Rock Plateau.
