The Utah Geological Survey has released a new geologic map covering parts of Kane and Washington counties in Utah and Coconino and Mohave counties in Arizona, covering 1,900 square miles.
The map includes Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks and about one-third of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It represents the most recent compilation of the geology for this area and uses new mapping in many places.
It is available for $24.95 at the Natural Resources Map and Bookstore at 1594 W. North Temple, Salt Lake City, or from geostore@utah.gov. The map can be viewed on the UGS Web site at geology.utah.gov/maps/geomap/ 30x60/pd/mp-08-2.pdf.
