2014 Map of Petes Cove

About this map

Kaiparowits Plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape in Kane County, where deep incisions like Escalante Canyon and Paradise Canyon carve through the sedimentary layers. The 2014 survey reveals a territory defined by its topographic benches, including Fourmile Bench, Paradise Bench, and the uniquely named Window Sash Bench. Human activity is primarily represented by primitive transportation routes such as Caine Bench Rd and various county roads that navigate the complex drainage systems. Water features are sparse but significant to the geography, with the Petes Cove drainage and the seasonal flow of Dry Wash providing the primary hydrologic structure for the surrounding canyons. Notable breaks in the plateau include Willard Canyon and Left Hand Collet Canyon, which demonstrate the intensive erosion patterns characteristic of this part of Utah.
