	Canyons of the Escalante Resource Area \| Utah.com
		The Escalante Basin is bordered by the prominent features of the Aquarius Plateau to the north, the Circle Cliffs and Waterpocket Fold to the east, and the Straight Cliffs of Kaiparowits Plateau to the west.
		As the plateaus were uplifted by the shifting and buckling of the earth, and the canyons were eroded by meandering streams, a great cross-section of geological formations was eventually exposed.
		The study was published in 1946 and identified the Aquarius Plateau-Escalante River Basin as a "little-known but potentially important recreation area." The road between Escalante and Torrey was described as "the most scenic road in southeastern Utah," and Escalante was identified as a "gateway town" with great potential as an important recreation center.
