2023 Map of Preacher Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Cherry Mesa and the surrounding high plateau dominate this portion of Grand County, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of drainage systems. Seasonal watercourses like Westwater Creek and Sulphur Creek have carved deep relief into the terrain, creating named features such as Preacher Canyon and Sulphur Canyon. The high-elevation points are marked by distinctive landmarks including Survey Point and the aptly named Jumping Off Point near the western edge. Transportation across this isolated region relies on ridge-running routes like Moon Ridge Rd and Book Cliff Ridge Rd, which trace the natural contours of the land. The presence of Well Hollow and Rock Spring suggests the critical importance of water sources in this arid upland environment, where the infrastructure is largely limited to these essential tracks and a single Pipeline Canyon.
