About this map

Natural Bridges National Monument anchors the northwestern corner of this high desert terrain, where deep drainage systems carve through the Grand Gulch Plateau. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with White Canyon and Grand Gulch cutting significant paths across the southeastern portion of the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Evidence of cattle ranching and early travel is found in the naming of level areas such as Mormon Flat, Harmony Flat, and Indian Park. The transition from the plateau down to Cedar Mesa is marked by sharp topographic shifts, including the distinct formations of Sphinx Rock and the narrow corridor of Tuwa Canyon. Local resources are noted by solitary features like Maverick Spring and named landmarks such as Maverick Point and Step Point.
