About this map

The Kaiparowits Plateau dominates this high-desert portion of Kane County, defined by a complex network of deep drainages and prominent overlooks. This 2017 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey documents the intricate topography of the East of the Navajo region, where water-carved features like Navajo Canyon, Croton Canyon, and Rogers Canyon slice through the arid uplands. Notable markers across the landscape include West End Point and Mudholes Point, which offer clear vantage points over the surrounding terrain.

The map reveals a seasonal or temporal naming convention for local geography, as seen with Monday Canyon and Sunday Canyon. To the south, the Burning Hills and the relatively level Little Valley illustrate the varying geological character of this southern Utah wilderness. The document also provides precise township and range boundaries, such as t40s r5e, helping land researchers and historians pin specific locations within this sparsely populated reach of the Colorado Plateau.
