About this map

Springdale serves as the gateway to the intricate canyon systems of Zion National Park, where the North Fork Virgin River and East Fork Virgin River have carved a labyrinth of sandstone features. This 2014 survey documents the complex topography of the region, from the iconic towering heights of The Watchman and Bridge Mtn to the geological curiosity of Checkerboard Mesa on the eastern edge.

Infrastructure designed to navigate this vertical landscape is clearly marked, most notably the Zion Mount Carmel Highway Tunnel and the Virgin River Bridge. While the modern settlement of Springdale anchors the western entrance, the map also identifies the historic site of Shunesburg further south along the river. Notable religious and natural landmarks like the Three Patriarchs and the Court of the Patriarchs illustrate the deep-seated cultural connections to this dramatic terrain.
