2014 Map of Tropic Canyon

About this map

Tropic sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape where the agricultural lands of Tropic Valley meet the complex geological features of the Colorado Plateau. The settlement's grid, centered on N Main St and W 200 N, is bounded by the dramatic verticality of the Pink Cliffs and the wide erosional basin of the Paria Amphitheater. The terrain is defined by a series of deep canyons and prominent ridges, including the appropriately named The Backbone and Sinking Ship, which showcase the region's famous red rock formations within the boundaries of Bryce Canyon National Park and Dixie National Forest. High-country water systems like the E Fork Sevier River and Paria River carve through the landscape, while family and local landmarks such as Shakespeare Point and the Tropic Cem provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research and local history.
