2020 Map of Glendale

About this map

Long Valley serves as the central corridor for this part of southern Utah, where the E Fork Virgin River snakes past the high-altitude settlements of Glendale and Orderville. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, moving from the river bottom up toward the Glendale Bench and the massive geological formations of the White Cliffs and Elkheart Cliffs to the south. Local history is anchored by the Glendale City Cem and Harris Cem, while the surrounding landscape is carved by numerous canyons and washes including Lydias Canyon and Dry Wash. The transition from the Spencer Bench down through the Skutumpah Terrace illustrates the stepped plateau system that dictates travel and habitation in this corner of Kane County.
