2023 Map of Pine Point

About this map

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument dominates this portion of Kane County, where the dramatic elevation shifts of the White Cliffs meet high desert plateaus. The landscape is defined by deep incisions such as Skutumpah Canyon and Johnson Canyon, which channel seasonal water through the Johnson Wash drainage system. Human passage through this terrain is limited to historic routes like Johnson Canyon Rd and the Nephi Pasture Rd, which trace the more accessible benches of the Wygaret Terrace. Prominent overlooks including Pine Point, Nephi Point, and Mark Point provide significant landmarks across the breaks. Geographically isolated water sources like Neaf Spring were essential for early cattle ranching in these high pastures, where the topography of Snake Canyon and Meadow Canyon created natural boundaries for land use.
