2023 Map of Knowles Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Lake Powell and the Colorado River dominate this modern topographic record of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The map documents a landscape of deep sandstone erosion and high canyon walls, including the sheer Tapestry Wall and the legendary Moki Stairs, where ancient inhabitants carved foot-and-hand holds into the rock. The branching waterways of Knowles Canyon, Forgotten Canyon, and Trail Canyon reveal the complex drainage patterns feeding into the reservoir.
