About this map

Zion National Park dominates this 2014 survey, highlighting the dramatic verticality of the Washington County landscape. The namesake Kolob Arch is a central landmark among the towering formations of Timber Top Mtn and Shuntavi Butte. These sandstone monoliths are separated by deep drainage systems like Timber Cr and La Verkin Cr, which have carved out the distinctive topography that defines this section of the Colorado Plateau.

Transportation and access are concentrated along the western edge, where S Harmony Ridge Dr and S Old Highway 91 run parallel to the Hurricane Cliffs. The Kolob Canyons Visitor Center serves as the gateway to the high-elevation trails and lookouts, including Lee Pass and the Kolob Canyons Viewpoint. Near the southwestern corner, the Ash Cr Reservoir captures runoff beneath the prominent ridge line of the cliffs.
