2023 Map of Gunsight Butte

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Lake Powell dominates this high-desert landscape where the Colorado River winds through the canyons of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The topography is defined by massive sandstone formations, including the prominent Gunsight Butte and the towering Romana Mesa. A significant historical and cultural point is noted at the Crossing of the Fathers, where the river meets the southern reach of Padre Bay. This survey captures the intricate shoreline and deep canyon systems of Gunsight Canyon and Padre Canyon, illustrating how the rising waters of the reservoir have filled the ancient drainage basins. Access to the plateau's edge is traced via the Sit Down Bench Road and Alstrom Point Rd, leading to expansive overlooks like Alstrom Point that stand high above the flooded valley floor.
