During a search session a while back I came across this excellent USGS diagram/map which shows the locations of many of the surface water & springs along the Escalante River system.
it is a pdf document and can be found HERE.

I think it is a valuable tool to be added to anyone's reference materials for the area.

thanks for the link, just bookmarked it. :thumbsup:
 
Too bad the data doesn't extend up into the tributaries. That would be really nice to know, especially for the ones that are mostly dry.

Yeah, I was very disappointed with that myself. Maybe I should start working on a supplementary map.
if only someone would invent magic dehydrated water already ;) or, to expose my sci fi geek side, a stillsuit.
 
Thanks for posting that. I'm always curious about headwaters and where all these drainages start from.
