1987 Map of Deep Canyon North

About this map

Lake Powell dominates this high-desert landscape in southeastern Utah, where the rising reservoir waters met the winding path of the San Juan River during the late 20th century. The map illustrates a point of intersection between several distinct land jurisdictions, including the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and the Navajo Indian Reservation. This confluence of water and plateau is defined by massive landforms like Wilson Mesa and Piute Mesa, which rise steeply above the flooded canyons.
