2014 Map of Deer Point

About this map

Water Pocket Fold dominates the central axis of this landscape, where the geological uplift creates a striking divide between the high plateaus and the canyon systems below. The map shows the intersection of Capitol Reef National Park and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, documenting a region defined by its complex drainage and massive sandstone features. Key landmarks include the natural span of Brimhall Bridge and the elevated overlooks of Deer Point and Big Thomson Mesa. Drainage patterns are dictated by Halls Creek, which winds southward toward the Hall Divide. The solitary path of Burr Trail Rd provides the primary access through this remote portion of Garfield County, connecting the high mesas to the deep incisions of Grand Gulch and Middle Moody Canyon.
