About this map

The town of Escalante serves as the focal point for this study of Garfield County's canyon country, situated at the confluence of the Escalante River and Pine Cr. The map highlights the transition from the irrigated fields of Potato Valley to the protected wilderness of the Dixie National Forest and the Phipps-Death Hollow Outstanding Natural Area. Local infrastructure is well-defined, from the Escalante Municipal Airport and Escalante Cem to a grid of street names like W Main St and E Highway 12.

Beyond the settlement, the landscape is a network of named drainages and plateaus. Waterways such as Mamie Cr, Sand Cr, and Alvey Wash carve through the geological formations. Topographical landmarks including Slickrock Saddle Bench, Antone Flat, and Death Hollow dominate the eastern and northern portions of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that define this part of the Colorado Plateau.
