About this map

Tropic stands at the eastern edge of a high-altitude landscape where the complex geology of Bryce Canyon National Park meets the vast reaches of Dixie National Forest and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The map documents a high density of named rock formations and landmarks along the canyon rim, including Silent City, Thors Hammer, and Gullivers Castle. These features illustrate the erosion patterns of the Pink Cliffs, while the inclusion of the Under The Rim Trail and Peekaboo Canyon Trail shows the established network of backcountry access through the amphitheaters and hoodoos.

Water sources like Whiteman Spring and Trough Spring are critical points in this arid environment, while the path of the E Fork Sevier River and Willis Creek define the drainage basins. Further south, the map crosses the Garfield Co and Kane Co line, revealing landmarks such as Fairview Natural Bridge and Noon Canyon Butte. The presence of the Great Western Trail and the Rubys Inn Snowmobile Trail reflects the area's dual role as a protected wilderness and a recreation hub.
