About this map

North Sixshooter Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape of San Juan County, Utah, where the drainages of Indian Creek and Salt Creek have carved a network of canyons and plateaus. The topography is defined by massive formations such as Hatch Point and the vast Salt Creek Pocket, illustrating the erosion patterns characteristic of the Colorado Plateau.

Modern access and infrastructure for visitors are centered around the Canyonlands National Park Airport and established sites like the Needles Outpost Campground and Squaw Flat Campground. Local transit is facilitated by rugged routes including Lockhart Rd and Rustlers Rd, which follow the contours of the terrain near Harts Draw and Squaw Canyon. This 2011 survey documents the intersection of recreational development and the enduring physical geography of the southeastern Utah backcountry.
