About this map

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominates the southern reaches of this Kane County landscape, where the high desert terrain is carved by complex drainages and steep gradients. Access through this backcountry is defined by the Smoky Mtn Rd and the dramatic descent of the Kelly Grade, which navigates the sharp elevation changes between the plateaus and the lower canyon floors. The map details a network of named canyons and watercourses, including Squaw Canyon to the west and the branching paths of Left Fork Water Canyon and Last Chance Cr to the north.

Local landmarks such as the Burning Hills and Smoky Hollow reflect the distinct geological character of the region. These features, along with isolated water sources like Berry Springs and the southern flow of Warm Cr, illustrate the fundamental challenges of transit and survival in this corner of the Colorado Plateau. The inclusion of primitive routes like Rec Road 230 and Rec Road 264 highlights the area's role as a managed wilderness and recreation corridor.
