About this map

Cleopatras Chair stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape where the borders of San Juan and Wayne counties meet. The deep, winding cuts of Millard Canyon and its East Fork dominate the western portion of the terrain, while the Green River carves a dramatic path through the northeast, creating distinct river features like Bonita Bend and the alluvial flats of Anderson Bottom and Unknown Bottom.

Transport through this complex topography is limited to established routes such as Queen Annes Bottom Road and several backcountry paths, including the Cleopatra Chair Trail and Panorama Point Trail. The map illustrates the intersection of major federal lands, including Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Canyonlands National Park, highlighting the geologic isolation of features like the Buttes of the Cross and the Orange Cliffs.
