2014 Map of Rainbow Bridge

About this map

Rainbow Bridge National Monument centers this 2014 survey, highlighting the iconic Rainbow Bridge where it spans its namesake canyon. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation slopes of Navajo Mtn in the southeast, transitioning into the deeply incised drainages that feed toward the northern reaches of Lake Powell. This corner of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area demonstrates a complex network of geological features, including the narrow Redbud Pass and prominent landmarks like Dougi Butte and White Crag Natural Bridge. The map detail follows the varied terrain from the high Rainbow Plateau down through Cliff Canyon and Forbidding Canyon, illustrating the isolation and natural connectivity of the desert floor and the mountain. Local features such as Rainbow Lodge Spring and Johnsons Hole offer specific points of interest for those studying the area's hydrology and navigation routes.
