2023 Map of South Long Point

About this map

Arch Canyon and its massive surrounding drainages dominate this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, Utah. The terrain is defined by elevated landforms like the Grand Gulch Plateau, Cedar Mesa, and South Long Point, which create a complex network of canyons and washes. Named natural landmarks such as Angel Arch and Cathedral Arch are tucked into the deep sandstone walls of the northern canyons. Within the Manti-La Sal National Forest, a series of specialized trails like the Salvation Knoll Trail (475) and Lyman Canyon Tr provide access to these remote reaches. Occasional water sources, including Pine Spring and Posey Spring, are vital breaks in the arid landscape of Cyclone Flat and Texas Flat.
