The Escalante River winds through a complex system of sandstone drainages within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area on this 2017 survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where the river meets significant tributaries such as Coyote Gulch and Cow Canyon. Notable landmarks including Stevens Arch and Zane Grey Arch highlight the unique geological formations typical of this part of southern Utah. To the west, Fortymile Ridge rises above the river basin, providing a topographical anchor for the surrounding labyrinth of canyons, including Fence Canyon, Explorer Canyon, and Bowns Canyon. This map serves as a detailed guide to a remote canyon system, tracing the exact contours of the water-carved terrain and its named natural features.
