1997 Map of Cross Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Colorado River flows through the western edge of this landscape, carving the deep corridor of Cataract Canyon along the border of Garfield Co and San Juan Co. This 1997 photo-inspection captures the intricate geomorphology of Canyonlands National Park, where the parallel fractures of The Grabens run between Calamity Mesa and the spire-filled horizon of The Needles. The map reveals a land defined by names like Ernies Country and Beef Basin, reflecting a history of cattle ranching in an otherwise formidable terrain. To the south and east, the map details the open reaches of Ruin Park and Bull Valley, while specific landmarks like Horsehoof Arch and the remote Bobbys Hole provide essential points of reference for those navigating this labyrinth of canyons and washes.
