2017 Map of Dave Canyon

About this map

Straight Cliffs dominate the southern portion of this Garfield County landscape, marking a dramatic geological transition just south of Escalante. The high plateau of Big Flat overlooks a complex network of drainage systems, including Alvey Wash, Harris Wash, and the deep incisions of Cottonwood Wash. Aviation infrastructure is represented by the Escalante Municipal Airport, situated near the junction of several rural routes like Lizard Ranch Rd and Sawmill Rd. The survey highlights significant natural landmarks that define the area's character, such as the Serenity Natural Bridge and Cedar Wash Arch. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are specifically identified at Oak Spring and Rock Spring, while rugged corridors like Dave Canyon, Calf Canyon, and Bull Run Canyon reveal the intricate erosion patterns of the high desert terrain.
