2020 Map of Angel Cove

About this map

The Dirty Devil River carves a winding path through this corner of Wayne County, defining a landscape of deep canyons and high desert plateaus. The topography is dominated by dramatic erosional features, including the notorious Robbers Roost Canyon and its southern fork, alongside the sharp profiles of Saw Tooth and Angel Point. This region serves as a stark example of the canyonlands' complex drainage systems, where seasonal watercourses like Beaver Wash and names such as No Mans Canyon reflect the historical difficulty of navigating the terrain. For those tracking the footprint of early ranching and movement through the desert, the map reveals essential water sources like Angel Cove Spring and established access points such as the Sand Slide Well Rd, which cuts across the western flats of Hell Hole Swale.
