2023 Map of The Barracks

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The East Fork Virgin River carves a deep, sinuous path through this section of Kane County, defining a landscape of narrow canyons and high plateaus. Within this drainage lies the distinctive corridor known as The Barracks, where the river is designated as a Virgin Wild and Scenic River. The elevation rises sharply toward the White Cliffs in the south, while the northern reaches include a portion of Zion National Park accessed by the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway. This modern survey illustrates the complex drainage systems of Mineral Gulch and Parunuweap Canyon, showing how water has sculpted the geological features of the Colorado Plateau. Names like Poverty Flat and Elephant Cove speak to the local history of ranching and exploration in this arid, high-desert environment.
