1985 Map of Big Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Arches National Park dominates the northwest corner of this 1985 survey, capturing the iconic Delicate Arch overlooking the canyon system. The Colorado River carves a winding path through the center of the quadrangle, punctuated by several named whitewater features including Whites Rapids, Rocky Rapids, and New Rapids. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, moving from the riverbed up to the sprawling Dome Plateau and the sheer walls of Parriott Mesa.
