About this map

Arches National Park dominates the southern half of this landscape, showcasing a remarkable concentration of geologic formations. The northern sections of the park are meticulously detailed, including the renowned Landscape Arch, Double O Arch, and the towering Skyline Arch. These features are connected by a network of footpaths such as the Devils Garden Trail and Broken Arch Trail, which lead hikers through the sandstone fins and canyons.

Beyond the park boundaries, the terrain transitions into the high desert plateaus of Yellow Cat Mesa and the expansive Yellow Cat Flat. Human activity in this arid environment is evidenced by the Yellow Cat road and the Mine Draw, suggesting the region's history of mineral exploration. Water is a scarce but defining element, with Cottonwood Wash and Lost Spring Canyon carving deep drainage patterns through the earth near the namesake Mollie Hogans formations.
