2014 Map of Cathedral Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2014About this map
Lake Powell and the winding course of the Colorado River dominate this desert landscape where the borders of Utah and Arizona meet. This topographic study reveals the intricate verticality of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, showing the deep recesses of Cathedral Canyon and Mountain Sheep Canyon. The elevation rises sharply toward the southeast, culminating in the massive broad top of Cummings Mesa and the Rainbow Plateau. Notable landmarks such as Cathedral Butte and Carrot Top Arch punctuate the high desert terrain, while the shoreline of the reservoir reaches into Cornerstone Canyon. These landforms illustrate the complex erosion patterns and high-plateau geography unique to this border region during the early twenty-first century.
