2023 Map of Copper Point

About this map

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominates this high-desert landscape in southeastern Utah, where the Colorado River and Lake Powell cut through the red rock of the Colorado Plateau. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between the flat-topped Wingate Mesa and the deep incisions of Cataract Canyon and Farley Canyon. A network of backcountry routes, including the Fortknocker Canyon Road and Blue Notch Rd, provides access to landmarks like Copper Point and the overlook at Blue Notch. These primitive roads and trails, such as the White Canyon Trl, trace the natural drainage of White Canyon Creek as it winds toward the river. This survey captures the region's managed wilderness character, balancing geological features like Browns Rim and Dry Mesa with the infrastructure of the national recreation area.
