2020 Map of Bowknot Bend

About this map

Green River carves a massive, symmetrical loop known as Bowknot Bend, a defining geographical feature in this corner of Grand and Emery counties. The dramatic canyon walls and intricate drainage systems of Labyrinth Canyon and Horseshoe Canyon dictate the landscape, where flat alluvial pockets like Spring Canyon Bottom and Oak Bottom provide rare level ground near the water's edge. Access to this remote river corridor is traced through specialized routes, including the White Rim Road in the south and the Horse Thief Trl descending toward the riverbanks.
