About this map

Canyonlands National Park encompasses the western half of this landscape, where a dense concentration of sandstone spans and natural formations are clustered. Notable landmarks such as Paul Bunyans Potty and Anchor Arch define the high country above Salt Creek. The map records a complex network of drainages including Davis Canyon and Lavender Canyon, which cut through the high plateaus of Cedar Mesa and Bridger Jack Mesa.

The presence of the Salt Creek Trl and Davis Canyon Road Trl suggests a terrain accessible primarily by specialized routes, leading to remote features like Gunsight Natural Bridge and South Sixshooter Peak. The geography is characterized by its numerous named arches, from the Gothic Arch in the north to Long Arch in the south, reflecting a region where erosion has sculpted the landscape into a series of named alcoves and natural bridges.
