About this map

Colorado River and Paria River carve through the southern reaches of this landscape near the Arizona-Utah border. The terrain is defined by complex geological formations, including the Thousand Pockets area and the deep recesses of Glen Canyon and Paria Canyon. Much of the eastern and southern portions of the map are protected within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.

Remote water sources such as Bishops Tank and Willow Tank are scattered across the high ground of the Ferry Swale. Development is concentrated in the northern section where residential streets like Rainbow Dr and Anasazi Dr serve the growing community of Page. The transition from these modern suburban corridors to the ancient drainages of Ferry Swale Canyon illustrates the intersection of contemporary settlement and the enduring wilderness of the American Southwest.
