About this map

Zion National Park is defined here by the dramatic carving of the Virgin River and its North Fork. The canyon floor, where Zion Lodge and The Grotto are situated, is surrounded by massive sandstone monoliths including The Great White Throne, Angels Landing, and Cathedral Mountain. The map details the intricate network of vertical geography, from the famous passage of The Narrows to the high reaches of Horse Pasture Plateau and West Plateau.

Logistics for early park visitors are documented through the presence of several pack trails, such as the West Rim Trail and East Rim Trail. Notable natural features like Emerald Pools, Weeping Rock, and the Temple of Sinawava are carefully located alongside smaller landmarks like the Pulpit and Scout Lookout. The boundary line between Washington and Kane counties bisects the eastern side of the quadrangle.
