About this map

Pine Lake serves as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of southern Utah, where the boundaries of the Dixie National Forest and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument meet. The geography is defined by the massive Table Cliff Plateau and the sharp descent of the Escalante Mountains, creating a complex network of drainages like Henderson Canyon and Clay Canyon.

Long-distance routes such as the Great Western Trail traverse the ridgelines, offering access to high-elevation lookouts at Powell Point and Shakespeare Point. The Southern portion of the map reveals the distinct geology of The Blues near Henrieville Creek, illustrating the transition from timbered forest heights to the stark, eroded benches and washes characteristic of the Escalante drainage basin.
