About this map

Ticaboo Mesa dominates this 2011 survey, a high plateau region defined by the intricate drainages feeding into the Colorado River system. The landscape is characterized by its complex hydrology, featuring the Ticaboo Reservoir and numerous ephemeral watercourses such as Sevenmile Creek and Warm Springs Creek. To the east, the rising waters of Lake Powell have transformed the lower canyons, reaching landmarks like The Rincon and Trail Cliff.

Evidence of historical water access in this arid environment is visible through several named points, including Wild Horse Spring, Colt Spring, and Ticaboo Shelf Spring. The terrain rises toward Mount Ellsworth in the northwest, while the southeastern portion of the map highlights the proximity of Good Hope Mesa to the reservoir's edge. This map documents the intersection of high desert plateaus and the managed water levels of the Glen Canyon region in the early 21st century.
