About this map

Fiftymile Mountain dominates this mid-1980s landscape, its high plateau dropping away at the Straight Cliffs into the sprawling Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The map records the intricate network of canyons and ridges that feed into the Colorado River basin, most notably where Lake Powell fills the lower elevations of Balanced Rock Canyon and Driftwood Canyon.

A marked Pack Trail traces the edge of the plateau, connecting water sources like Maple Seep Hollow and East End Spring across the high desert terrain. Notable landmarks such as Balanced Rock and the grazing area at Teddys Horse Pasture provide specific points of reference for researchers tracing the historical usage and topography of this segment of Kane County. The survey captures the shoreline at its normal pool elevation of 3,700 feet, reflecting the geography of the reservoir era.
