2023 Map of Kane Canyon

About this map

Hurricane Cliffs and the southern reaches of the Tushar Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape on the boundary between Beaver and Iron Counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages including Fremont Canyon and Kane Canyon, which feed into seasonal watercourses like South Creek and Birch Creek. Human activity is primarily represented by a network of historic tracks and trails, such as the Wet Hollow-Wades Canyon Trl and the South Creek Trl, which navigate the steep elevations between Coyote Bench and Porkies Pasture. Within the Fishlake National Forest, isolated water sources like Sand Cliff Spring and Lees Spring provided critical stops for travelers and livestock in an otherwise arid environment. The map details the transition from the deep incision of The Narrows to the broader expanse of Blue Valley.
