1987 Map of Davis Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Escalante River and Colorado River dominate this desert landscape, where the rising waters of Lake Powell have filled deep sandstone canyons. This 1980s-era study captures the intersection of natural geologic wonders and modern recreational infrastructure within the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Significant cultural and natural landmarks are noted throughout the drainage basins, including the legendary Hole-in-the-Rock and the nearby Hole-in-the-Rock Well. The map highlights the intricate network of side canyons like Explorer Canyon and Davis Gulch, which contain distinctive features such as Broken Bow Arch and the Cathedral in the Desert. These labels provide essential context for understanding how the inundation of the canyon system affected local topography and access to historical pioneer routes.
