About this map

Big Water sits at the center of this high-desert landscape, located just north of the border between Utah and Arizona. This survey captures a specific network of patriotic street names in the heart of town, including S Revolution Way, S Independence Dr, and S Victory Dr. To the east, the map details the boundary of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where the terrain transitions into the complex drainage systems of Wahweap Cr and Blue Pool Wash.

The surrounding area is defined by massive landforms such as East Clark Bench and Cedar Mtn, which rise above a network of dry washes and canyons. Local water sources like Jacobs Tanks and Judd Hollow Spring are critical markers in this arid environment, providing essential points of interest for those studying the physical geography of Kane County. The map also traces the path of Us-89 as it cuts across the northern half of the quadrangle, serving as the primary corridor for regional transit through the canyon country.
