About this map

Lake Powell dominates the lower portion of this desert landscape, its waters filling Wahweap Bay within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The shoreline is marked by the distinctive Lone Rock monolith and the sandy reach of Lone Rock Beach, while the interior desert reveals a network of canyons and high plateaus. Erosion has sculpted features such as Skylight Arch and the prominent Stud Horse Point overlooking the basin.

Local navigation in this arid environment relies on established routes like Lone Rock Rd and Kayenta Rd, which trace the high ground between Wiregrass Canyon and Crosby Canyon. Remote water sources such as Wiregrass Spring and the drainage of Wahweap Cr indicate the scarce natural hydrology that exists alongside the massive artificial reservoir. The map details a landscape where recreational infrastructure meets the geological landmarks of the Colorado Plateau.
