2020 Map of Flume Canyon

About this map

Book Cliffs dominate this portion of Grand County, Utah, where a series of deep drainage systems carve through the high plateau. The network of canyons including Flume Canyon, Cottonwood Canyon, and Diamond Canyon illustrates the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the region. Local water sources like Oak Springs and Cato Springs are critical landmarks in this arid landscape, often determining the placement of early routes such as the Cottonwood Rd. At the southern edge of the survey, the land descends into the Grand Valley, while to the north, narrow passages like Antone Canyon and Halfway Canyon mark the rugged interior. This map is particularly valuable for tracing the physical geography and established access roads like Diamond Canyon Rd that connect these remote canyon floors to the broader valley below.
