About this map

Cataract Canyon dominates this portion of the Colorado plateau, where the Colorado River carves through high desert tablelands. This 2014 survey documents the convergence of administrative and natural boundaries, capturing the point where the river flows into the northern reaches of Lake Powell. The map illustrates a dramatic vertical landscape defined by the Orange Cliffs and the intricate drainage systems of Teapot Canyon and Calf Canyon.

Navigational landmarks like Teapot Rock and The Button provide orientation points amidst the complex topography of Canyonlands National Park. For researchers, the map identifies specific river features including Big Drop Rapids and Mile Long Rapids, which have historically challenged travel through this corridor. The inclusion of the Flint Trl and remote grazing areas like Easter Pasture Canyon highlights the intersection of recreation and earlier land use in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
