About this map

Horseshoe Canyon and the winding course of Barrier Creek dominate this desert landscape within Glen Canyon National Park. The survey details a highly eroded plateau system where prominent landmarks like Head Spur, High Spur, and The Spur rise above deep drainages. Access to this remote backcountry is traced through Hans Flat Rd and Rec Road 777, which cross the expansive Hans Flats.

Water sources are few and vital in this arid environment, marked by Trail Spring, Wildcat Spring, and Burro Seep. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the dramatic descent of the Orange Cliffs into Millard Canyon. This map serves as a detailed record of the grazing and travel routes used by those navigating the Lower Pasture and Twin Corral Flats before the advent of modern infrastructure.
