2017 Map of Copper Point

About this map

Copper Point stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where the drainage of White Canyon Cr cuts through the high plateaus. The topography is defined by massive formations such as Browns Rim, Wingate Mesa, and Dry Mesa, which create a complex network of canyons and mesas. In the northeast, the Colorado River winds through Mille Crag Bend before opening into the waters of Lake Powell. This 2017 survey details the access routes through the back country, including the rugged Fortknocker Canyon Road, White Canyon N Road, and the historical White Canyon Trail. The map documents a landscape where traditional overland routes meet the modern shoreline of the reservoir, capturing the geographic transition between the high desert of Blue Notch and the deep river corridors of Sheep Canyon and Farley Canyon.
