2002 Map of Tropic Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2005

About this map

Tropic sits at the southern base of the Pink Cliffs, where the arid basin of Tropic Valley meets the dramatic rising topography of the Paunsaugunt Plateau. This area serves as a critical geographic junction between the Dixie National Forest and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, following the course of the Paria River and Henderson Creek. The landscape is defined by its extreme verticality, featuring named landmarks such as Shakespear Point, the Sinking Ship formation, and the Mossy Cave area within Bryce Canyon. The presence of the All American Highway cutting through Tropic Canyon illustrates the region's mid-century transition into a major destination for travelers, while a lonely Cem near the town center provides a point of interest for local genealogists and historians.
