2011 Map of Hite South

About this map

Lake Powell dominates this landscape within Glen Canyon National Park, where the rising reservoir waters fill the deep labyrinthine drainages of the Colorado River basin. The map centers on a significant bend in the lake known as The Horn, flanked by numerous side canyons including Farley Canyon, Twomile Canyon, and Fourmile Canyon. These features illustrate the complex interface between high desert plateaus and the drowned river valley. Near the northern edge of the sheet, the legacy of early river crossings is preserved at Hite (Historical), a site that transformed from a pioneer ferry location into a modern recreation hub featuring the Hite Marina and Hite Marina Campground. Inland, landmarks such as Red Monument rise above the surrounding terrain, while isolated routes like Blue Notch Rd provide rare access into this desert interior.
