2002 Map of Canaan Peak

About this map

Canaan Peak rises as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape, situated near the boundary where the Dixie National Forest meets the southern reaches of the Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument. The map documents a complex drainage system characterized by intermittent flows such as Henrieville Creek, Wahweap Creek, and the deeply etched Round Valley Draw. Evidence of the region's geological diversity is found in named features like the striking ridge of The Cockscomb and the pale, eroded badlands of The Blues. High-elevation landmarks such as Canaan Mountain overlook cattle-grazing territory and remote basins like Bull Flat and Headquarters Valley. Transport and access are limited to a few arterial routes, including the Highway 12 corridor, also known as the All American Road, and backcountry paths like the Horse Spring Canyon Loop Trail.
