About this map

Navajo Lake and the high volcanic terrain of the Markagunt Plateau define this high-altitude landscape in southwestern Utah. The map traces the intricate intersection of federal lands, including the southern portion of Cedar Breaks National Monument and the surrounding Dixie National Forest. Notable geological features such as the Pink Cliffs and the Lava Desert stand alongside specific local landmarks like Spectra Point and the Wasatch Rampart.

A complex network of trails and backcountry routes, including the Virgin River Rim Trail and Navajo Lake Loop Trail, weaves through canyons and springs. Small, named locales like Lundale Spring and Kolob Terrace provide valuable points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking historical land use. The map also records water sources essential to the region's development, such as Cascade Falls and Boy Scout Spring.
