2020 Map of Tropic Canyon

About this map

Tropic sits at the southern edge of the Tropic Valley, where the high Paunsaugunt Plateau gives way to the intricate erosion of the Pink Cliffs. This modern survey reveals the interface between the agricultural valley and the protected landscapes of Bryce Canyon National Park and Dixie National Forest. The map details the drainage patterns of the Paria River and Cedar Fork, which have carved out notable landmarks like The Backbone and the Sinking Ship. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies the Tropic Cem and the Loseeville Cem, while the Great Western Trail winds through the high country of Johns Valley. The terrain is characterized by deep ravines like Cope Canyon and Paradise Canyon, illustrating the transition from the flatlands of Washboard Flat to the dramatic escarpments of Shakespeare Point.
