2011 Map of Ship Mountain Point

About this map

Glen Canyon National Park encompasses much of this landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by dramatic geological features and winding drainages. High points such as Ship Mountain Point and Pilot Knoll provide significant landmarks for orientation across this stretch of Kane County. The map details the complex drainage patterns of Last Chance Creek and North Branch Creek, which have carved deep paths like Dry Fork Wesses Canyon and Drip Tank Canyon into the plateau. Two primary desert tracks, Smoky Mtn Rd and Smoky Hollow Rd, provide the only vehicle access through the southern portion of the area. Grounded features like Wesses Cove and Pilot Rock highlight the specific topographical identity of this region within the national park system during the early 21st century.
