1981 Map of Bridger Point

About this map

Bridger Point rises as a prominent landmark along the southern border of Kane County in the early 1980s. This survey, compiled from 1970s aerial photography, documents a complex landscape of dramatic erosional features where the Utah-Arizona state line divides the high mesas. To the north, the broad expanse of East Clark Bench is punctuated by Church Well and a small Trailer Park, while the southern reaches drop into the labyrinthine depths of Paria River Canyon and Buckskin Gulch. The map records a sparse human imprint, limited primarily to a Jeep Trail and a Radio Tower, reflecting the arid and demanding nature of the terrain between The Rimrocks and the elevated plateau of Flat Top.
