1985 Map of Cathedral Butte

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Canyonlands National Park and the Manti-La Sal National Forest meet in this 1985 provisional study of the high desert plateau. The landscape is defined by the massive Bridger Jack Mesa and the drainage systems of Salt Creek and Cottonwood Creek. Exceptional geological features like Wedding Ring Arch and Cleft Arch are recorded alongside practical landmarks of the cattle-ranching era, such as Mormon Pasture and the Maverick Point Reservoir. Significant elevation changes are marked by the Sisters Buttes and the towering Cathedral Butte, providing a detailed look at the canyons and rimrock country before modern digital mapping. The inclusion of several prospect labels and a Pack Trail indicates the legacy of exploration and resource assessment in this remote corner of San Juan County.
