2020 Map of Canaan Creek

About this map

Upper Valley and the smaller Little Valley settlement sit within a complex landscape of drainages and plateaus in Garfield County. This 2020 topographic survey illustrates the intersection of public land management and natural resource extraction, as the Uppervalley Oil Field and the Pet Hollow road system weave through protected lands. The map covers a significant portion of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the Dixie National Forest, highlighting the area's transition from high forest to the stark, carved canyons of the monument. Major watercourses like Willow Cr and Alvey Wash have defined the terrain, creating named features such as Horse Spring Canyon and Coal Bed Canyon. Notable landmarks like Horizon Arch and the broad Cherry Flat offer specific points of interest for those studying the topography of southern Utah's high plateau country.
