About this map

Kanab serves as the focal point of this 1985 provisional study, situated where the high desert plateau meets the towering Vermilion Cliffs. The street grid of the town is clearly defined, showing residential and commercial development south of the mouth of Kanab Creek. The map records essential mid-century infrastructure including the Kanab Municipal Airport and a Sewage Disposal Plant, reflecting the town's role as a regional hub.

Surrounding the settlement, the landscape is deeply etched by water and wind, with numerous canyons such as Hog Canyon, Toms Canyon, and Cottonwood Canyon cutting through the red rock. To the south, the boundary of the Kaibab Indian Reservation meets the Utah Arizona state line, while name-bearing landmarks like The Elephant and Savage Point provide orientation across the diverse terrain of John R Flat.
