Canyonlands National Park encompasses this dramatic high-desert landscape in San Juan County, where the Colorado River carves the deep Meander Canyon. The map reveals the intricate geography of the Island in the Sky mesa, joined to the mainland by the narrow land bridge known as The Neck. This geological bottleneck separates the massive drainage systems of Taylor Canyon and Shafer Canyon.
