1970 Map of Bryson Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Book Cliffs dominate the landscape of this Grand County region, where steep escarpments and high ridges define the northern terrain. This 1970s survey captures an era of active resource extraction, evidenced by the numerous Gas Wells, Drill Holes, and a sprawling Pipeline network concentrated within the Bar X Gas Field. The rugged geography is shaped by deep drainages such as San Arroyo Canyon and Bryson Canyon, while lower elevations are marked by San Arroyo Wash and Bryson Wash winding south toward the Colorado state line. Isolated landmarks like Hat Rock and Lion Bench stand out amidst a network of Jeep Trails, which provide the primary access through these remote uplands. The presence of several Corrals suggests a continued reliance on the land for ranching alongside the burgeoning energy industry.
