About this map

Canyonlands National Park and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area meet in this 2014 survey of the desert interior of Emery and Wayne counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage networks, with the Barrier Cr and Antelope Valley Wash carving through high plateaus. The topography is anchored by prominent landmarks like Sugarloaf Butte and the long, elevated ridges of The Spur and High Spur.

Remote land management routes including the Lower San Rafael Rd and Windy Peak Rd provide limited access to the deep canyons of Bluejohn Canyon and Horseshoe Canyon. Vital water sources for livestock or wildlife, such as Willow Spring and Big Spring, are mapped alongside isolated landmarks like The Mailbox and Goat Park. The survey illustrates the complex jurisdictional boundaries where national park land intersects with recreational areas and public lands.
