About this map

Fruita sits at the heart of this desert landscape, serving as a rare oasis along the Fremont River within the expansive boundaries of Capitol Reef National Park. This 2014 survey documents the dramatic geological features that define Wayne County, including the massive Waterpocket Fold and prominent landmarks like Pectols Pyramid and Danish Hill. The topography is defined by intricate drainage systems such as Deep Cr and Dry Wash, which have carved out notable features like The Narrows and Cohab Canyon.

Cultural and natural history intersect at site-specific landmarks such as Hickman Natural Bridge, Nels Johnson Bridge, and Cassidys Arch. The map details the modern road network, including Ut-24 and the Scenic Dr, while also tracing historical access points like the Notom Rd and Hartnet Rd. This region, characterized by its complex monocline and diverse canyons like Grand Wash and Bear Canyon, remains a vital point of interest for those studying the intersection of geology and early Utah settlement.
