2011 Map of Ferry Swale

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through the southeastern corner of this region, set within the broader Glen Canyon National Rec Area. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems and unique geological formations, such as the distinctive Thousand Pockets and the steep walls of Ferry Swale Canyon. To the north, the encroachment of local infrastructure is evident near the outskirts of Page, with residential thoroughfares like Tower Butte Dr and N Wahweap Dr beginning to subdivide the desert floor. Water management in this arid environment is highlighted by the presence of livestock or wildlife catchments like Bishops Tank and Willow Tank. Further west, the Paria River meanders toward its eventual confluence, illustrating the hydrological network that sustains this portion of Coconino County.
