2014 Map of The Guardian Angels

About this map

North Guardian Angel and its southern counterpart dominate the vertical landscape of Zion National Park in this topographic study. The drainage patterns of the Left Fork North Creek and Right Fork North Creek define the complex erosion of the White Cliffs, creating iconic geological features like The Subway and Double Falls. Higher elevations are marked by the broad expanses of the Upper Kolob Plateau and Horse Pasture Plateau, where Sawmill Springs provided a vital water source. The map reveals a transition from the high mesas like Greatheart Mesa down into the deep incisions of Great West Canyon. Significant landmarks including Tabernacle Dome, Pine Valley Peak, and Spendlove Knoll serve as navigational anchors across this varied terrain.
