2014 Map of Cleopatras Chair

About this map

Cleopatras Chair and the towering Buttes of the Cross define this high desert landscape where the borders of San Juan and Wayne counties meet. The survey emphasizes the dramatic verticality of the Orange Cliffs and the deep incisions of Millard Canyon, illustrating how the land descends toward the Green River. Along the river's path, distinctive alluvial features such as Anderson Bottom and Bonita Bend are documented as they wind through Stillwater Canyon. The map reveals a remote territory largely defined by its natural barriers and geologic formations, from the broad Millard Canyon Benches to the isolated prominence of The Spur. Modern access is traced by Panorama Point Way, leading to overlooks like Panorama Point that survey the vast canyon systems of Canyonlands National Park.
