2011 Map of Purgatory Canyon

About this map

The Virgin River carves through this arid landscape along the Arizona-Utah border, anchoring a region of dramatic topographical shifts and named landmarks. The northern corridor is defined by the proximity of the State Line Reservoir and the Black Rock Interchange, where modern infrastructure meets the ancient drainage of Black Rock Gulch. Moving south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, transitioning from the open reaches of Dinner Flat and Pocket Hill toward the steep descents of The Dives and the heights of Mokaac Mountain.
