This beautifully detailed map of Arches National Park was created in 2026 using aerial imagery combined with modern topographical, census, street and landmark data. It covers the whole park, from the Arches Entrance Road in the south to the fins of Devils Garden in the north, with Courthouse Towers, the Windows and the Fiery Furnace in between. Shaded topographic relief shows the long sandstone ridges and the washes that run between them, and many of the park’s names follow the land itself, curving along the ridges and washes they belong to.

Did You Know?
From the National Park Service: “In a park with over 2,000 stone arches, this particular free-standing arch has become a widely recognized symbol of the state of Utah and one of the most famous geologic features in the world.”
Delicate Arch has gone by other names, including “Cowboy’s Chaps,” “Old Maid’s Bloomers” and “Salt Wash Arch.” The name Delicate first appeared in a January 1934 article about a scientific expedition to what was then Arches National Monument. The opening under the arch is 46 feet high and 32 feet wide, the largest of any free-standing arch in the park, and the 3-mile round-trip trail to it climbs 480 feet past the Wolfe Ranch cabin and a wall of Ute petroglyphs. The arches began after a buried layer of salt bulged upward and cracked the sandstone above it into long, nearly parallel lines. Rainwater soaking into the sandstone wore those cracks into fins, and the fins into arches. To count as an official arch, an opening must measure at least three feet in one direction, and the park’s geology pages note that the fall of Wall Arch in 2008 showed this landscape is still changing.
