About this map

Glen Canyon City serves as the focal point for this high-desert survey, situated at the edge of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The landscape is dominated by the broad expanse of East Clark Bench and the prominent rising mass of Cedar Mountain to the south. Local water sources and early infrastructure are clearly documented, including Judd Hollow Spring and a nearby Fish Hatchery, alongside various wells and gravel pits that suggest the region's development during the late 1970s.

Surface drainage across the arid terrain is etched by several seasonal watercourses such as Wahweap Creek, Nipple Creek, and Shittum Wash. The presence of several 4wd tracks and a Radio Tower indicate the remote yet increasingly accessible nature of this Kane County area near the Utah-Arizona state line. Geographic landmarks like Haycock Point and Flat Top provide vertical contrast to the expansive draws of Buck Tank Draw and Jacobs Tanks Draw.
