2021 Map of West Canyon Creek

About this map

Rainbow Plateau and Cummings Mesa define the high-relief landscape of this northern Arizona survey. The map details the complex drainage systems that carve through the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where West Canyon and W Canyon Cr intersect the layered topography. These natural features represent the traditional terrain of the Navajo Nation, providing a technical look at the geological formations like Octagon Butte and Wetherill Canyon as they stood in the early 21st century. The inclusion of remote water sources such as Sei Billikeen highlights the map's value for tracing seasonal water flow and navigation in a region defined by its verticality rather than human settlement.
