2011 Map of The Guardian Angels

About this map

North Guardian Angel and South Guardian Angel dominate this high-desert landscape within the western section of Zion National Park. This 2011 survey details a complex drainage system where Little Creek flows through Little Creek Valley toward the Little Creek Sinks, while the Left Fork North Creek carves through the legendary geological formation known as The Subway. The map reveals a wilderness of isolated mesas and named peaks, including Greatheart Mesa, Tabernacle Dome, and the Inclined Temple, many of which are accessible only via the winding Kolob Rd or rugged backcountry routes. Local landmarks like The Bishopric and Guardian Angel Pass provide crucial orientation points for navigating the deep canyons and high plateaus. The inclusion of Double Falls and numerous named washes like Grapevine Wash and Wolf Springs Wash highlights the critical role of seasonal water in shaping this arid terrain.
