About this map

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominates this landscape, where the waters of Lake Powell meet the winding drainages of the Escalante River. This 2020 map documents the intricate sandstone canyons and natural bridges that define the region, including notable geological formations such as LaGorce Arch and Bement Arch. The terrain transitions from the high plateaus of Pollywog Bench down into narrow, submerged corridors like Davis Gulch and Explorer Canyon.

A historical corridor is preserved via the Hole in the Rock Rd, which traces a path toward the famous Hole-in-the-Rock site near the confluence of the Colorado River. Deep within the canyon system, features like Cathedral in the Desert highlight the unique intersection of desert geology and the fluctuating reservoir levels. The map also delineates the boundary between Kane and San Juan Counties as it crosses this labyrinth of water and stone.
