2017 Map of Wagon Box Mesa

About this map

Capitol Reef National Park dominates this high-desert landscape in Garfield County, showcasing a complex network of canyons and mesas defined by dramatic geological features. The historic Burr Trail and the route from Moab to Boulder Town cross the northern reaches, tracing the same paths utilized by early travelers and cattle drivers through the Waterpocket Fold. Notable landmarks like Oyster Shell Reef, Peak-a-boo Rock, and the Studhorse Peaks provide distinct navigational points for those studying the area's physical history. Steep drainages including Death Hollow, Muley Twist Canyon, and Surprise Canyon reveal the erosive forces that shaped the terrain, while the Notom-Bullfrog Road serves as a modern corridor along the eastern edge, following the course of Halls Creek.
