About this map

Arches National Park dominates the eastern half of this landscape, showcasing a high concentration of named geologic formations including Tower Arch, Parallel Arch, and Anniversary Arch. The northern reaches of the park boundary encompass Eagle Park, while the terrain to the west transitions into the broad expanse of Klondike Flat. A network of unpaved corridors like Salt Valley Road and the Tower Arch Trailhead Road provides the primary access through this remote desert environment, following natural drainage patterns like Salt Valley Wash.

Utahraptor Ridge and Klondike Bluffs stand as significant topographic landmarks, while the southwestern corner of the sheet features the Canyonlands Regional Airport. The drainage systems, including Klondike Wash and Yellow Cat Wash, underscore the seasonal water movement that has carved the Salt Valley Gorge and surrounding fins. This survey captures the modern boundaries and infrastructure supporting public access to these protected geological features in Grand County.
