About this map

Tropic Reservoir sits at the high-altitude headwaters of the East Fork Sevier River, serving as a central hydrological point for this Kane County landscape. This 2011 survey details a complex drainage network that includes Upper Kanab Creek and multiple branches of Blubber Creek, highlighting how the high desert terrain is shaped by these seasonal and perennial waterways. The geography is defined by significant elevation changes, prominently marked by the Pink Cliffs and Sunset Cliffs.

Public access and recreation are central to this area, evidenced by the King Creek Campground and several designated vantage points along the rim. Facilities like the Farview Point Overlook, Natural Bridge Overlook, and Agua Canyon Overlook provide structural evidence of how the land is managed for public appreciation. The inclusion of named hollows such as Ingram Hollow and Puma Hollow provides specific geographic markers for those researching local topography or land use patterns.
