About this map

The Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominates this landscape, showing the complex interplay between the rising waters of Lake Powell and the winding canyons of the southern desert. The Escalante River snakes through the center of the sheet, feeding into the reservoir at the heart of the canyon system. This 1987 provisional edition captures the geography of the high plateau and its deep incisions just before the final decade of the 20th century. Notable landmarks include the Stevens Natural Arch and the branching paths of Coyote Gulch, which illustrate the erosion patterns characteristic of the region. From Les George Point to Fortymile Ridge, the map documents a series of named side canyons like Explorer Canyon and Scorpion Canyon as they meet the encroaching lake waters.
