About this map

The canyonlands of Kane County are defined here by the massive uplift of Clear Creek Mountain and the deep incisions of Birch Canyon and Orderville Canyon. These high plateaus and drainage systems lead into the northeastern corner of Zion National Park, where the N Fork Virgin River enters the frame. The map documents a landscape of dramatic vertical relief, from the flat expanse of Table Bench to the depths of Englestead Hollow.

Human presence is sparse in this 2017 study, concentrated primarily along the N Fork Co Rd and at the Rock Canyon Ranch near the southern border. The intricate network of seasonal waters, including Waterpocket Cr, Co-op Cr, and Meadow Cr, highlights the importance of drainage patterns in this arid environment. Significant natural water sources like Big Spring and the complex terrain of Twins Hollow are carefully charted, providing a detailed record for those navigating this backcountry.
