About this map

Zion National Park encompasses the majority of this landscape, where the North Fork Virgin River and the Parunuweap Canyon East Fork Virgin River carve deep routes through massive geological formations. The gateway community of Springdale serves as the primary point of entry, situated near the South Campground and Park Hdqrs. To the south, the settlement of Shunesburg sits at the confluence of several canyons, offering a look at the historical footprint of ranching and early habitation outside the main canyon floor.

The map highlights significant engineering and landmarks including the Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel and striking features such as The Great Arch and Checkerboard Mesa. From the Court of the Patriarchs Creek to the Vermilion Cliffs, the topography is defined by named peaks like The Watchman and Bridge Mountain. Local history is noted through features like the Wylie Retreat and a small Cem near the river forks.
