2011 Map of Nokai Dome

About this map

Lake Powell touches the southeastern corner of this arid landscape, a region defined by dramatic vertical relief and sparse access. The Nokai Dome Rd serves as the primary artery through this high-desert terrain, winding southward toward the prominent geologic landmark of Nokai Dome. This survey reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Castle Creek and the East Fork Lake Canyon, which carve through the plateau. Small, specific points of interest like Johnnies Hole and the stepped topographical feature known as The Step provide localized orientation in an area otherwise dominated by the scale of the Colorado River basin's canyon systems. The map illustrates a modern era of backcountry navigation where remote desert landmarks remain essential for orientation.
