About this map

Wagon Box Mesa dominates the central landscape of this Garfield County survey, illustrating the complex geology of the high desert before modern expansion. This 1987 provisional edition documents the dramatic uplift and erosion patterns within Capitol Reef National Park, where the towering Capitol Reef and Circle Cliffs define the region's verticality. The map captures the distinct geological alignment of the Waterpocket Fold, a massive monocline that dictates the drainage of seasonal waterways like Upper Muley Twist Canyon and Silver Falls Creek.
