2014 Map of Collet Top

About this map

Collet Top stands as a prominent high point within the sprawling landscape of the Kaiparowits Plateau in Kane County. This 2014 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a labyrinth of drainage systems including Left Hand Collet Canyon, Cigar Creek Canyon, and Button Canyon. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between Window Sash Bench and the towering Straight Cliffs to the northeast. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the unimproved path of Missing Canyon Rd, while isolated water sources like Circle Spring highlight the arid nature of this remote section of Southern Utah. Geologists and topographical enthusiasts can trace the complex network of gulches and canyons, such as Willow Gulch and Steer Canyon, which illustrate the heavy erosion patterns characteristic of the region.
