About this map

Zion National Park encompasses the southern half of this map, showcasing the dramatic transition from the high Upper Kolob Plateau down into deeply carved drainage systems. The landscape is defined by massive geographic features such as Kolob Peak and Bullpen Mtn, which overlook a network of canyons including Bear Trap Canyon and Wildcat Canyon. This 2014 survey documents a rugged backcountry where water management and recreation meet, highlighted by the presence of Kolob Reservoir and Blue Springs Reservoir.

The northern reaches cross the Iron County and Washington County line, where the terrain shifts toward more open features like Bear Valley and Little Creek Valley. Local access is provided by a series of named roads such as Lava Point Rd and Oak Valley Rd, which serve as gateways to the park's interior. Notable high points like Little Creek Peak and the Horse Pasture Plateau offer significant landmarks for researchers and land managers studying this corner of the Colorado Plateau.
