2020 Map of The Rincon

About this map

The Rincon dominates the center of this landscape, a massive entrenchment where the Colorado River once flowed in a wide loop before cutting through its own neck to form the present course. Within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the map documents the modern contours of Lake Powell as its waters reach into ancient drainages like Iceberg Canyon and Bowns Canyon. The boundary between Kane and San Juan counties follows the river's path, cutting through a high desert terrain of mesas and arches.
