1987 Map of Davis Gulch

About this map

Hole-in-the-Rock Trail cuts across the sandstone landscape, following a historic pioneer route through the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This 1987 survey documents the canyon country of Kane County as the waters of Lake Powell rose to fill the branching arms of the Escalante River and Colorado River. The topography is defined by intricate drainage systems and natural features like Broken Bow Arch and LaGorce Arch, which sit above the winding canyons. Along the shoreline, the map identifies Cathedral in the Desert, a significant landmark within the flooded gorge. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the Hole-in-the-Rock Well and the namesake Hole-in-the-Rock passage provide a focused look at the physical challenges of early travel in this region.
