2014 Map of Stair Canyon

About this map

The Dirty Devil River carves a deep path through the eastern portion of this Garfield County landscape, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Colorado Plateau. Much of the southern and eastern territory is preserved within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where a series of dramatic geographic features define the horizon. Significant topographical landmarks like Bert Mesa and Cedar Point overlook a complex system of side-canyons, including Poison Spring Canyon, Stair Canyon, and Hatch Canyon. The layout of the land is further characterized by distinct flatlands and drop-offs such as the Red Benches and Black Jump. This digital-era survey from the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise look at the township and range divisions, such as t31s r14e, where high points like Buckacre Point stand against the river's winding course.
