About this map

Tropic sits at the southern edge of this study, serving as a gateway to a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and complex drainage systems. The town is anchored near the Paria River and the local Tropic Cemetery, with State Rte 22 providing the primary corridor through the high-elevation terrain. This 2011 survey documents the intricate network of canyons and points that characterize the region, including the descriptive Sinking Ship, Fairyland Canyon, and the prominent ridge known as The Backbone.

Hydrography is split between the East Fork Sevier River in the north and various forks of North Creek and Henderson Creek to the east. Notable landmarks such as Shakespear Point and Henderson Point offer significant elevation markers, while the presence of the Bryce Valley Translator highlights modern infrastructure within this predominantly rural and topographic expanse. The map details numerous named drainages like Water Canyon, Box Canyon, and Glory Cove, providing a precise record of the area's physical geography.
