1987 Map of Bowdie Canyon West

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Cataract Canyon dominates this 1980s landscape, where the Colorado River feeds into the rising waters of Lake Powell along the border of Garfield and San Juan counties. This provisional survey captures the canyon system at a specific stage of inundation within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The terrain transitions from the high, flat expanses of Dry Mesa and Andy Miller Flats to the sheer drops of Dark Canyon and Glen Canyon. Notable landmarks such as Bowdie Point and Middle Point overlook the water, while isolated water sources like Cove Spring and Freddies Cistern are mapped across the more arid flats. The map provides a precise look at the confluence of these major canyon systems during the late twentieth century.
