About this map

Canyonlands National Park borders the western edge of this southeastern Utah landscape, where the Colorado River winds through deep topographic relief. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and high desert basins, primarily defined by the sprawling Lockhart Basin and its namesake drainage, Lockhart Canyon. The terrain is marked by significant landmarks like Horsehead Rock and the winding course of Rustler Canyon to the south.

Access to this remote region is documented through a series of backcountry routes, including Lockhart Rd and the Needles Overlook Rd, which navigate the plateaus and valley floors. This 2014 survey captures the area's transition from the protected river corridor to the rugged high-country overlooks, illustrating the intersection of natural erosion patterns and the primitive road network used by modern explorers and land managers in San Juan County.
