2023 Map of The Rincon

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area dominates this section of the High Plateau, where the serpentine waters of Lake Powell fill the depths of Glen Canyon. The map centers on the massive entrenched meander known as The Rincon, an abandoned river bend that stands as a landmark of geological time. The boundary between Kane Co and San Juan Co follows the original course of the Colorado River, now submerged beneath the reservoir. High above the water line, the desert landscape is punctuated by natural wonders such as Triple Arch, Bell Tower Window, and Aleson Arch. Vast elevated flats like Wilson Mesa and Pollywog Bench overlook deep side-canyons, including Iceberg Canyon and Annies Canyon, illustrating the complex drainage systems that feed the Colorado basin.
