2011 Map of Teapot Rock

About this map

Teapot Rock stands as a central landmark in this high-desert reach of San Juan County, where the southern flow of the Colorado River enters the upper reaches of Lake Powell. The map illustrates a dramatic landscape of deeply incised drainages, including the formidable Cataract Canyon and the winding Teapot Canyon. To the west, the broad expanse of Waterhole Flat provides a contrast to the sharp verticality of Lands End and the Flint Trail Overlook. This survey captures the region's topographical character in the early 21st century, detailing the convergence of remote canyons like Calf Canyon and Gypsum Canyon with the river's path. Named features such as Ernies Country and Imperial Valley reflect a history of local geography and land use in one of the most secluded sections of the Colorado Plateau.
