1985 Map of Kanab

About this map

The town of Kanab serves as the central hub of this 1985 survey, positioned where the high desert floor meets the dramatic rise of the Vermilion Cliffs. This landscape is defined by its deep drainages and named formations, such as The Elephant and Savage Point, which underscore the geological character of the Utah-Arizona border. The presence of the Movie Set (Fort) west of the main settlement reflects the area's long-standing connection to the film industry, a notable cultural detail alongside more functional landmarks like the Kanab Municipal Airport and the local Cem. The northern reaches of the Kaibab Indian Reservation extend into the lower portion of the sheet, while water systems such as Kanab Creek and Three Lakes Canyon highlight the drainage patterns through canyons like Hog Canyon and Hell Dive Canyon.
