2011 Map of Canaan Peak

About this map

Canaan Peak and Kaiparowitz Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape in Kane County, Utah, where complex drainage networks carve through the high plateaus. The map details a rugged transition from flat basins to sheer vertical features, most notably The Cockscomb, a distinctive geological fold that runs across the southern section. This area is defined by its water sources, with Wahweap Creek and Horse Creek winding through the terrain, alongside isolated reliable points such as Horse Spring and Mud Spring. Historically significant landmarks like Canaan Bottom and Shurtz Bush indicate the traditional ranching and grazing grounds that have long utilized these drainage basins. The intricate contour work illustrates the steep descent into Mud Spring Canyon and the broad, open space of Bull Flat, providing a precise look at the landforms of south-central Utah.
