2017 Map of Lamp Stand

About this map

Dixie National Forest and Capitol Reef National Park meet in this high-desert landscape of Garfield County, defined by its dramatic geologic formations. The topographic data reveals a complex network of canyons, including Wolverine Canyon, Long Canyon, and Horse Canyon, which carve through the high plateaus. A significant historical transit route, the road from Moab to Boulder Town and the Burr Trl, provides the primary means of navigating this remote terrain. Distinctive landmarks such as the Lamp Stand and the broad White Canyon Flat offer orientation points for those tracing the history of Utah's backcountry. The map also highlights the Circle Cliffs and the sweeping expanse of The Flats, illustrating the stark transition between sheer canyon walls and elevated grazing lands.
