Lake Powell dominates this high-desert landscape where the waters of the Colorado River meet the intricate carved canyons of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The settlement of Halls Crossing serves as a critical access point for the region, connected by Halls Crossing Rd and positioned near the expansive Bullfrog Bay. The map reveals a complex geography of flooded drainage systems, including Moqui Canyon and Lake Canyon, which illustrate the transformation of the canyon floor into a reservoir environment. Uplands such as Iron Top Mesa and the Red Rock Plateau stand above the water line, marking the original elevation of the plateau. The boundary between San Juan and Kane Counties snakes through the water, tracing the historic path of the river through Glen Canyon.
