2011 Map of Mazuki Point

About this map

Lake Powell dominates the southern landscape of this Kane County region, its jagged shoreline reaching deep into the desert drainages. The map illustrates how the rising reservoir waters have transformed the natural topography, filling the lower reaches of Rock Creek and Middle Rock Creek. These desert waterways, once simple drainages, now form sprawling inlets that define the modern character of the area. Above the high-water line, the arid terrain remains defined by prominent landforms such as Mazuki Point and the steep walls of Twitchell Canyon. This 2011 survey captures the state of the canyon country decades after the damming of the Colorado River, showing the intricate relationship between the expansive lake and the remaining high desert plateaus.
