2011 Map of Kane Gulch

About this map

Sphinx Rock and the high vantage of Bridge View overlook a complex landscape of canyon systems and expansive mesas in this 2011 survey of San Juan County. The western edge of the quadrangle includes the Natural Bridges National Monument Campground, while a modern Photovoltaic Array marks a transition in infrastructure. The topography is defined by significant flats and drainages, including Grand Flat, Mormon Flat, and Harmony Flat, which transition into the deep incisions of Fortress Canyon and Lyman Canyon. Historical and recreational access points are centered around the Kane Gulch Trailhead and routes like Burch Canyon Rd and Elk Mtn. The hydrology of the area is anchored by White Canyon Creek and Maverick Spring near Maverick Point, illustrating the critical water sources in an otherwise arid high-desert environment.
