About this map

Sugarloaf Butte stands as a prominent landmark in this desert landscape within Glen Canyon National Park. The topography is defined by a network of deep drainage systems, most notably Bluejohn Canyon, Horseshoe Canyon, and Big Spring Canyon, which carve through the high plateaus. These canyons are separated by significant ridges such as The Spur and High Spur, showing the dramatic erosional patterns of the region.

Evidence of desert travel and remote habitation is preserved through labels like the Flint Trl and a singular location known as The Mailbox in Antelope Valley. Water sources, critical for any venture into this arid terrain, are pinpointed at Willow Spring, Windy Point Spring, and Big Spring. The map documents a territory where geological formations like Water Canyon and Goat Park dominate, with very few signs of modern development.
