2023 Map of Davis Gulch

About this map

Hole In The Rock Road and the Hole-In-The-Rock-Trail cut through this remote landscape in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, marking the path of a significant pioneer trek toward the Colorado River. The geography is defined by deep incisions like Davis Gulch and Willow Gulch, which feed into the winding waters of Lake Powell and the Escalante River. The map captures geological landmarks such as La Gorce Arch and Bement Arch, alongside high-ground features like Pollywog Bench and Fiftymile Point. This survey details a complex network of canyons including Explorer Canyon and Bowns Canyon, illustrating the intersection of modern recreation boundaries and 19th-century transit corridors within the Glen Canyon region near the border of Kane and San Juan counties.
