2023 Map of Griffin Point

About this map

Dixie National Forest defines the high-altitude geography of this region, dominated by the massive plateau features of Griffin Top and Barney Top. This landscape is marked by a network of seasonal water sources and named canyons, including Birch Canyon and Spencer Canyon, which descend from the Escalante Mountains. The map documents a complex system of historical and modern transport, where the Old Escalante Rd and Corn Creek Rd follow natural drainage contours through Main Canyon. Water management is central to the area's utility, anchored by the North Creek Reservoir and numerous natural outlets like Boiling Spring and Birch Spring. For the researcher, these labels reveal how topography dictated the routes of travel and resource extraction, with features like Marts Pasture and Barker Hollow indicating specific points of local activity within the wilderness.
