About this map

Lake Powell dominates this high-desert landscape where the waters of the Colorado River meet the intricate sandstone geology of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The map reveals a complex shoreline of drowned canyons and protruding features, most notably Antelope Island and the prominent spire of Castle Rock. Away from the water's edge, the terrain rises into high mesas and dissected plateaus, including Romana Mesa and Prickly Pear Point.

The presence of named water sources like Gunsight Spring and Dewey Seep near Wagon Box Canyon highlights the critical importance of localized hydrology in an otherwise arid environment. Numerous backcountry access points are noted, including Rec Road 264 and Rec Road 230, which navigate through rugged formations such as Pasture Point Canyon and Gunsight Canyon. This modern survey documents the contemporary extent of Warm Creek Bay and Wahweap Bay along the border of Utah and Arizona.
