2011 Map of Hite North

About this map

Lake Powell dominates the lower portion of this landscape where the waters submerge the canyon floor. The drainage of the Dirty Devil River snakes from the north to join the reservoir near the former location of Hite (Historical). This 2011 survey documents a transition in the Utah desert, where modern infrastructure like the Hite Airport and Route 95 interact with deep-cut natural features including Marinus Canyon and Butler Canyon. Public access points like the Lake Powell Overlook and Hog Spring Picnic Area indicate the area's role as a recreation gateway. The map also records the location of Three Forks at the head of Stair Canyon, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and terrain before the river enters the inundated depths of Narrow Canyon.
