About this map

The San Juan River carves through this high desert region of San Juan County, Utah, defining the northern geography within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The landscape is dominated by high plateaus and deep incisions, notably No Mans Mesa in the southeast and the expansive Piute Mesa to the southwest. These geological features are separated by intricate drainages such as Nokai Cr, which feeds into the larger Nokai Canyon before reaching the river.

Water levels are a central theme here, evidenced by the presence of Zahn Bay and the submerged outlets of Copper Canyon and Castle Cr. The topography reveals the transition from the river basin to the upland flats via The Step, a distinct natural terrace north of the river. While largely unpopulated, the presence of Co Rd 434 indicates the sparse modern network providing access to these remote mesas and canyon reaches near Monitor Mesa.
