2011 Map of East of the Navajo

About this map

Burning Hills and a complex network of desert drainages define this portion of Kane County, Utah, as documented in 2011. This topographic study reveals a landscape dominated by erosion and deep seasonal watercourses, where labels like Monday Canyon, Sunday Canyon, and Rogers Canyon highlight the named features of the high desert. The area known as East of the Navajo consists of stark, high-elevation terrain dissected by the headwaters of Navajo Canyon to the south and Basin Canyon to the north. These drainage patterns provide critical spatial data for researchers studying the geomorphology and land management of the Colorado Plateau in the early twenty-first century. The map is a precise record of the remote physical geography before modern development or significant shifts in land use altered these public lands.
