2014 Map of Knowles Canyon

About this map

Lake Powell dominates the carved sandstone landscape of this 2014 survey, where the submerged canyons of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area meet the towering cliffs of the Red Rock Plateau. The map highlights the complex intersection of Garfield and San Juan counties, featuring vertical landmarks like the Tapestry Wall and the historical site at Olympia Bar. Intricate side-drainages such as Warm Springs Canyon, Knowles Canyon, and Forgotten Canyon wind through the desert, showing the dramatic relief of the Colorado River corridor. Cultural and topographical markers like the Moki Stairs and Lone Pine Spring provide specific points of interest for those studying the area's geological and human history within this protected canyon system.
