1987 Map of Deer Point

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Waterpocket Fold dominates this 1987 study of the Garfield County backcountry, showcasing the dramatic monocline that defines the boundary between Capitol Reef National Park and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The landscape is a complex network of drainage and elevation, where Halls Creek carves a deep path alongside the Circle Cliffs. Notable landmarks like the Brimhall Double Arch and the Halls Creek Overlook provide specific points of reference for navigating the vertical terrain. Small water sources, critical for the area's history, are documented through labels such as Dove Spring, Burts Spring, and Fountain Tanks. Further south, the map details the descent toward Hall Divide and the branching paths of East Moody Canyon, reflecting the intricate geological erosion of the Big Thompson Mesa.
