About this map

Green River carves a deep path through this desert landscape, forming sharp meanders at Bonita Bend and Anderson Bottom. This 2020 survey documents a high-elevation plateau defined by the Orange Cliffs and the prominent spire of Cleopatras Chair. The map highlights the intersection of several major protected lands, including the southern reaches of Canyonlands National Park and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

Evidence of historical backcountry travel is preserved through the Horse Canyon Trail and Upper Horse Canyon Trail, which navigate the complex drainage systems of Deadhorse Canyon and Stillwater Canyon. Looking north, the distinct profile of the Buttes of the Cross stands as a landmark above the river valley. The map provides clear detail of the Millard Canyon Benches and the steep drop-offs at Panorama Point, reflecting the extreme verticality of the San Juan and Wayne County border region.
