2017 Map of Fruita NW

About this map

Capitol Reef National Park dominates this Utah landscape, revealing a high-desert environment defined by striking geological monoliths and arid drainage systems. The map highlights the iconic Temple of the Sun and Temple of the Moon rising from the Middle Desert, alongside the massive Jailhouse Rock situated near the South Desert. This area serves as a primary study of the Water Pocket Fold, a significant monocline that dictates the region's topography. Navigational routes like Hartnet Road and Jail House Rd trace the accessible paths through these remote canyons and flats. Critical water sources, essential for survival in this environment, are clearly marked at Campers Spring and Rockwater Spring, while seasonal drainage is illustrated by the complex networks of Deep Cr and the Hartnet Draw.
