Selected Natural Arches - a prototype GIS-based catalog of natural arches

This page provides indexing into a prototype catalog of natural arches using Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates referenced to the WGS84 datum. Natural arch locations are plotted on topographic maps, aerial imagery, or both (courtesy of Google Maps).

Arches are also grouped by either country or by state if in the US. Within the listing for each country/state, arches are ordered from west to east. When available, arch names are included for ease of reference.

For several states a statewide index based on Google Maps is provided. Currently, the arches shown on these index maps are not necessarily the same arches that are included in the listing for that state. Eventually, as work progresses, maps and listings will include the same set of arches and will be as complete as possible.

The state index maps provide links to further documentation about the natural arches plotted. Furthermore, all the functionality of Google Maps is available, e.g., zoom, pan, and directions from user specified locations.

The goal is for this catalog to eventually become a true Geographic Information System (GIS) database for natural arches. Comments are welcome and should be sent to info@naturalarches.org.
