2023 Map of Good Hope Bay

About this map

Lake Powell dominates this high-desert canyon landscape, where the inundated Glen Canyon meets the mouth of Ticaboo Creek. Within the protected boundaries of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the topography is defined by dramatic elevation changes from the Henry Mountains in the northwest to the Red Rock Plateau in the southeast. Boaters and river historians can identify specific water features like Ticaboo Number 1 Rapids and Ticaboo Number 2 Rapids along the main channel of the Colorado River. Inland, the map details a network of named drainages and landforms, including the whimsical Popcorn Canyon and the prominent Castle Butte. The eastern portion is characterized by high plateaus and winding access routes such as Red Canyon Rd and Blue Notch Road, which lead toward the vast expanse of Mancos Mesa.
