2023 Map of Hite North

About this map

The Colorado River and the Dirty Devil River converge in this high-desert landscape, feeding into the northern reaches of Lake Powell. This recent survey illustrates the modern topography of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area on the border of Garfield and San Juan Counties. The intricate drainage systems of Butler Canyon and Stair Canyon flow into the North Wash, while the Big Horn Sheep Canyon defines the southwestern terrain. Local transportation and recreation infrastructure are concentrated near the water, including the Hite Airport, Glencove, and the Hite Marina Access Road. This data reflects the contemporary water levels and access points for the river-delta environment where silt and canyon geology meet the reservoir, providing a clear record of the area's current geography and landmark names like Three Forks and Trachyte Point.
