USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Colorado River whitewater and high desert topography define this 1985 survey, where the river's winding path creates the prominent horseshoe curve of Big Bend. The map documents a stretch of canyon country rich in natural landmarks, including the northeastern corner of Arches National Park and its famous Delicate Arch. The river corridor is marked by a series of technical water features such as Professor Creek Rapids, New Rapids, and Whites Rapids, indicating the navigational challenges of the era.
