2011 Map of Fruita

About this map

Capitol Reef dominates the landscape in this 2011 survey, showing the intricate geological formations of the Waterpocket Fold and the South Desert. The settlement of Fruita serves as the focal point for access to the Fremont River valley, where the Fruita Campground provides a base for exploring the surrounding canyons. This map illustrates the transition from the high elevations of Horse Mesa and The Notch down into the winding corridors of Spring Canyon and Grand Wash. The road network is sparse, centered on the Capitol Reef National Park Rd and the Notom Bullfrog Basin Rd to the southeast. Notable landmarks like Pectols Pyramid and Danish Hill offer distinct navigational points within the complex canyon systems of Cohab Canyon and Cuts Canyon.
