2017 Map of Sit Down Bench

About this map

Lake Powell dominates the southern half of this landscape, its fingers reaching into deep incisions like Last Chance Bay and Croton Canyon. This terrain, situated within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, is defined by expansive elevated plateaus including Sit Down Bench and Grand Bench. To the west, the Burning Hills and Smoky Mtn rise above the drainage of Last Chance Cr. The map captures a high-desert wilderness marked by isolated water sources like Point of the Mountain Tank and geological landmarks such as White Rocks. While largely roadless, the area is traversable via the Sit Down Bench Trail and Little Valley Road, reflecting the intersection of protected federal land and traditional backcountry access routes near the Arizona border.
