1996 Map of Bowdie Canyon East

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

The Colorado River winds through the northern reaches of this high-desert landscape, where the waters of Cataract Lake meet the steep topography of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This mid-1990s survey highlights the dramatic elevation changes between the Dark Canyon Plateau and the deeply incised drainages of Gypsum Canyon and Bowdie Canyon. Human activity in this remote San Juan County terrain is sparse, centered primarily around a lone Landing Strip and named grazing areas like Horse Pasture. The map illustrates a complex network of canyons including Lean-To Canyon and Youngs Canyon, demonstrating the natural drainage patterns that define the region south of the Garfield and San Juan county line. Prominent landforms such as Bowdie Point and Middle Point serve as significant navigational landmarks across the plateau.
