2023 Map of Kolob Arch

About this map

Zion National Park and its surrounding protected lands dominate this modern study of the high plateau and canyon country near the Iron and Washington County line. The map highlights the intersection of significant desert drainages, including the South Fork Taylor Creek and La Verkin Creek, which carve through prominent formations like Nagunt Mesa and Timber Top Mtn. A focal point of the area is the Kolob Arch, accessible via the Kolob Arch Trl. The geography is defined by the massive vertical relief of the Hurricane Cliffs and Black Ridge, where the high desert meets the canyon systems. Human transit is confined largely to the western edge along Old US Hwy 91 and the Kolob Canyons Road, which provides access to the trailhead at Lee Pass.
