2020 Map of Clay Point

About this map

Burr Trl snakes through this high desert terrain, marking a primary route through the canyon-and-plateau landscape of Garfield County. The geography is defined by prominent topographical elevations including Hall Mesa, Clay Point, and Saleratus Point, which look down upon a drainage network shaped by Saleratus Wash, Bullfrog Cr, and Thompson Cr. This land is a critical meeting point of preserved federal wilderness, where the southern reaches of Capitol Reef National Park border the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The intricate system of steep-walled drainages like Fourmile Canyon, Clay Canyon, and Long Canyon demonstrates the characteristic erosional patterns of the Colorado Plateau, while landmarks such as Dials Knob and Middle Point provide distinct navigational markers in a region where few paved improvements exist beyond the primary trail.
