2014 Map of Stevens Canyon North

About this map

The dramatic geological uplift of the Water Pocket Fold dominates this landscape along the border of Garfield and Kane Counties. As part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the terrain is defined by deep incisions and sharp ridges, most notably Stevens Canyon and the winding course of Grand Gulch. The northeastern corner transitions into Capitol Reef National Park, where the high desert plateau gives way to the monocline's striking rock layers. Small seasonal drainage patterns, such as Millers Cr, cut through the sandstone, illustrating the erosive forces that have shaped this portion of the Colorado Plateau. This survey serves as a precise record of federal land boundaries and topographic relief in a region where natural barriers have historically dictated movement and land use.
