1985 Map of Dolores Point North

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Dolores River winds through the high desert landscape of the Utah-Colorado border, marked by numerous rapids as it carves between massive plateau formations. This mid-1980s survey documents a region defined by its verticality, where Polar Mesa, Beaver Mesa, and Dolores Point dominate the horizon. The presence of several Mines and a scattered network of 4wd tracks suggests a history of resource extraction within the Manti-La Sal National Forest and along the flanks of South Beaver Mesa. These uplands are dissected by deep drainages like Gateway Canyon and Lumsden Canyon, which descend toward the river valley. The map captures the remote nature of the state line before modern development, identifying isolated features such as DP Spring and a Radio Tower that served as vital landmarks for those navigating this complex terrain.
