BLM, Navajo Mountain, Utah‑Arizona (Surface Management Status) metric topographic map

Printed on one side only, the map employs elevation contours to show the form of the land.  Distinct color tints designate different land management agencies: Purple for National Park Service, orange for Navajo Reservation, yellow for BLM, and blue for Utah state lands.  Shows rivers, streams, creeks, washes, and springs.  Township and section lines are marked.  Roads of all classes are depicted (but only US and state highways are numbered).  Also shows landing strips and little else in this remote area, for there are few other cultural features present.

 There are no towns in this area, but the few named localities on the map are Halls Crossing, Navajo Mountain School, Oljeto, and Goulding.  The northwest corner of the map plus the middle is in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.  The bottom of the map covers a part of the Navajo Reservation.  The map also includes Rainbow Bridge National Monument.

 The main physical features on the map are Lake Powell (from Forbidding Canyon to Moqui Canyon, and including the San Juan River and Escalante River branches); Waterpocket Fold, Wilson Mesa, Rainbow Plateau, Navajo Mountain, Piute Canyon, Nokai Canyon, Monitor Mesa, Grand Flat, Polly Mesa, Sickhorn Canyon, Douglas Mesa, northern Monument Valley, and Oljeto Mesa.

 Most of the area of the map is in Kane County, most of the rest is in San Juan County.  A small strip at lower left is in Navajo and Coconino counties, Arizona.
