2011 Map of Stair Canyon

About this map

The Dirty Devil River carves a winding path through this corner of Garfield County, creating a complex series of meanders and dramatic drop-offs. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and flat-topped landforms, most notably Bert Mesa to the north and the extensive Red Benches in the southeast. A network of named canyons, including Stair Canyon, Butler Canyon, and Poison Spring Canyon, feed toward the central river valley, illustrating the geological forces that have shaped this high desert environment.
