2014 Map of Calf Creek

About this map

Boulder Town sits at the northern edge of this high-desert plateau, marking a gateway to the intricate canyon systems carved by the Escalante River. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes across massive sandstone formations, including the prominent ridge known as The Hogback. Natural landmarks are abundant throughout the drainage of Calf Creek, which features both Upper Calf Creek Falls and Lower Calf Creek Falls. This area is a focal point for geographical study, containing several significant geological spans such as the Escalante Natural Bridge, Bowington Arch, and Phipps Arch. Human footprint is concentrated along the Ut-12 corridor and within the Calf Creek Recreation Area, while the surrounding benches like Bowington Bench and Haymaker Bench illustrate the expansive, uninhabited nature of the Phipps-Death Hollow Outstanding Natural Area as it appeared in the early 21st century.
