About this map

Vermilion Cliffs and the northern reaches of the Kaibab Plateau dominate this landscape along the border between Utah and Arizona. This 2020 survey illustrates a complex system of drainage and erosion, where White Sage Wash and Petrified Hollow Wash cut through the high desert floor. Much of the northern half of the quadrangle is preserved within the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, reflecting a region primarily defined by its geology and conservation status rather than intensive settlement.

Transportation through this high-elevation terrain is sparse, centered on historical routes like the Old Arizona Rd and Seaman Canyon Rd. Notable geological landmarks such as Seaman Point and the Limestone Pot Holes provide specific points of reference for those navigating the plateau. The map also identifies the expansive Telegraph Flat, highlighting the varied topography that transitions from vertical cliff faces to broad, elevated plains.
