About this map

Lake Powell defines the southern edge of this Kane County landscape, where the rising waters meet a labyrinth of desert canyons. The intricate shoreline reaches into Dangling Rope Canyon, Balanced Rock Canyon, and Driftwood Canyon, reflecting the significant impact of the Glen Canyon Dam on the region's geography. North of the water, the terrain ascends through a series of dramatic vertical features and named plateaus, including Spencer Point and Navajo Point.

Named landmarks across the high ground suggest a history of ranching and navigation through this complex topography, from Teddys Horse Pasture to the evocative Harveys Fear Cliff. This document charts the drainages of Dry Rock Creek and Fiftymile Creek, while recording localized water sources like Maple Seep. The map provides an essential record of how these traditional landform names persisted into the twenty-first century alongside the man-made reservoir.
