2002 Map of Straight Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2005

About this map

The North Fork Virgin River carves through this high-altitude landscape of southern Utah, defining a complex network of drainages within the Dixie National Forest. This 2002 revision, based on earlier topographic data and updated Forest Service surveys, reveals a terrain shaped by dramatic elevation shifts from the Pink Cliffs in the northeast to the deep incisions of Straight Canyon and Orderville Gulch. The map identifies critical water sources in an arid environment, including Bulloch Spring, Lower Bear Spring, and Big Springs. Infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to a Gaging Station on the river and a Prospect located near the mouth of Willow Creek, hinting at early mineral exploration. The presence of named plateaus like The Plans and Table Bench illustrates the classic mesa-and-canyon morphology of Kane County.
