About this map

Canyonlands National Park and the Manti-La Sal National Forest meet in this high-desert landscape defined by complex drainage systems and eroded geologic formations. The map centers on the transition between the elevated North Long Point and the lower Beef Basin, with numerous canyons like Bull Canyon and Ruin Canyon cutting through the red rock.

This 2023 survey provides precise modern locations for natural landmarks such as Tse Nizhoni-Stellar Arch and Kirk Arch. Notable backcountry routes, including the White Rim Trail East Trl and Davis Canyon Trl, navigate the steep topography between House Park Butte and the Salt Creek Mesa. The presence of Crystal Spring in an otherwise arid environment highlights the critical water sources that dictated movement through this region long before the designation of modern forest and park boundaries.
