About this map

Lake Powell dominates the central landscape of this San Juan County quadrangle, where the impounded waters fill the deep labyrinthine drainages of Glen Canyon. The map illustrates a complex geological interface within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, where high plateaus like Grey Mesa and Wilson Mesa overlook a network of submerged canyons. Notable landmarks such as Old Settler Natural Bridge and Aladdins Lamp Pass highlight the dramatic relief of the terrain.

South of the main reservoir body, the landscape transitions into the Glass Mountains and the intricate systems of Cha Canyon and Bald Rock Canyon. The few man-made traces, such as Lost Mesa Rd, underscore the isolation of the area. This 2014 survey serves as a modern record of the shoreline and topographical features like Cha Bay and the San Juan Valley before further hydrologic or environmental shifts.
