2020 Map of Petes Cove

About this map

Kaiparowits Plateau dominates the northern reaches of this Kane County landscape, where the high tableland gives way to an intricate system of drainages and level benches. The topographic layout is defined by the erosion of the plateau, carving out deep natural features like Escalante Canyon and Paradise Canyon to the southwest. This area serves as a study in vertical geography, where named flatlands such as Paradise Bench, Fourmile Bench, and Window Sash Bench represent distinct geological steps between the high plateau and the lower canyons. To the east, Petes Cove and Dry Wash mark significant hydrological features in a region primarily accessed via the sparse network of Co RD routes. The map illustrates a largely unpopulated wilderness, preserved in its geological state as of the early 21st century.
