2020 Map of North Six-shooter Peak

About this map

North Six-shooter Peak rises as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape, which sits largely within the boundaries of Canyonlands National Park. This 2020 survey documents the intersection of modern access roads and ancient geological formations, with Federal Rte 2444 and Lockhart Road providing the primary transit through the area. The terrain is defined by dramatic depressions and basins, including Corral Pocket and Salt Creek Pocket, which gather drainage from seasonal waterways like Indian Cr and Salt Cr. The presence of the Needles Outpost at the junction of Needles Main Park road indicates the primary entry point for researchers and visitors exploring the park's iconic Needles District. To the east, the topography transitions into the steep descent of Davis Canyon and the broad reach of Harts Draw, illustrating the complex erosional patterns that characterize this portion of San Juan County.
