1965 Map of Dinosaur Quarry

About this map

Dinosaur National Monument dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the Green River carves a dramatic path through Split Mountain Canyon. The map centers on the world-renowned Dinosaur Quarry, a primary site for paleontological research and public interest. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into Split Mountain, dissected by deep drainages like Cottonwood Wash and Red Wash. Along the river's winding course, local industry and infrastructure are evident through features such as a Gaging Station, a Flume, and several scattered Gravel Pits. While much of the land remains undeveloped, the presence of a Storage Bin, Graves, and a Split Mtn Gorge Campground highlights the area's dual role as a working landscape and a burgeoning destination for scientific tourism and recreation.
