About this map

Needle Eye Point anchors a landscape defined by dramatic geological features and significant relief in southern Kane County. This 2020 edition reveals an intricate network of drainages and named formations, including the sprawling Burning Hills and the prominent Smoky Mtn. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are specifically identified at Needle Eye Water and along the seasonal flows of Last Chance Cr.

Topographic benches and canyons dominate the terrain, from the descriptive Window Sash Bench to the depths of Navajo Canyon. The mapping of these features, alongside others like Surprise Valley and Shute Point, reflects the complex natural architecture of the region. This survey captures a moment where modern roads like Co RD intersect with the traditional landmarks that have long guided travelers through this part of the Utah interior.
