About this map

Dixie National Forest and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument dominate this southern Utah landscape, where protected federal lands meet the high desert plateau. The hydrology of the region is centered on the Escalante River and its various tributaries, including Birch Cr and Upper Valley Cr, which feed into the critical Wide Hollow Reservoir in the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Evidence of historical movement and recreation is clear through named paths like the Varney Griffin Trail and the Roundy Trail, as well as specialized routes like the Snowmobile Trail. The terrain is characterized by a series of named canyons and depressions, such as Meadow Canyon and Little Valley Canyon, contrasting with elevations like the Black Hills. This 2020 survey provides a modern accounting of the access roads, including N Creek Rd and Old Escalante Rd, that serve the Upper Valley and the surrounding wilderness areas.
