2017 Map of Calico Peak

About this map

Paria serves as a central reference point in this corner of Kane County, situated along the winding course of the Paria River. The landscape is defined by its dramatic geological formations, most notably the elongated ridge of The Cockscomb and the high elevation of Calico Peak. This 2017 survey details a network of canyons and mesas, including Hackberry Canyon and the isolated No Mans Mesa. Navigation through this complex terrain is facilitated primarily by Cottonwood Canyon Rd, which snakes through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Significant natural landmarks such as Sam Pollock Arch and Starlight Arch are documented, providing precise locations for features within Upper Death Valley and Lower Death Valley. The drainage patterns of Hackberry Cr and Cottonwood Cr further illustrate the deeply eroded nature of the region.
