2017 Map of Canaan Creek

About this map

Dixie National Forest covers much of this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County, where the topography is defined by a complex network of canyons and washes. The northern portion is characterized by Upper Valley and the course of Upper Valley Cr, leading toward the geological landmark Horizon Arch. The terrain reveals a rugged series of drainages, including Mitchell Canyon, Coal Bed Canyon, and Calf Canyon, which transition into broader areas like Cherry Flat and Little Valley to the south. This 2017 survey details a landscape where traditional water management is evident through various stock ponds and the drainage of Canaan Creek and Willow Creek. The map is an essential reference for understanding the remote land-use patterns and natural features within the public lands of southern Utah.
