About this map

Hall Mesa rises as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape, where the southern boundary of Capitol Reef National Park meets the expansive Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The terrain is defined by the dramatic geological uplift of the Water Pocket Fold, which dictates the course of Halls Creek and Narrows. The eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the rising waters of Lake Powell, reaching into Halls Creek Bay and the mouth of Bullfrog Cr.

Navigational history is marked by the winding path of the Burr Trl, which provides access through the complex network of canyons and mesas. From the arid reaches of Cane Spring Desert to the deep incisions of Long Canyon and Grand Gulch, the map reveals a wilderness shaped by drainage systems like Millers Cr and the sheer verticality of the Utah backcountry along the border of Garfield and Kane counties.
